Bay College is excited to announce an evening of jazz, featuring local band “Mardi Rouge.” Join us on Thursday, April 18 at 7:00pm ET at the Besse Theater for an unforgettable performance by Patrick Booth, Ryan Dart, Lorne Watson, and John Beck.

“Mardi Rouge” is a jazz ensemble that began in the summer of 2020 during the pandemic. The creation of this band was a way to keep music alive in the hearts of the musicians. It was an outdoor jam session on the porch of the Red House in Escanaba, Michigan where musicians brought in original compositions to play through and workshop. As the year passed, the group found themselves with quite a substantial repertoire and began playing gigs. With a rotating cast of members, the group still focuses on original music from all the members and continues to create new music as a band.

Bay College invites the public to join us in supporting local talent and experiencing the vibrant energy of “Mardi Rouge.”

Tickets are $10/General Public and $5/K-Bay students and employees. Tickets can be purchased online at www.baycollege.tix.com, over the phone at (906)-217-4045, or in person at the Box Office, located in the Besse Center on the Escanaba Campus.
