Groove moves: If you’re bummed about missing the high-energy party vibe of Mardi Gras this year, you can beat your blues with the blues at Ultramarine, a showcase featuring the Chickenhead Blues Band and Eli Cook. The Chickenhead’s five-man ensemble features NOLA’s own Aric van Brocklin on guitar, alongside Skip Haga on the keyboards, Granville Mullings on drums, Andy Rowland playing sax, and Victor Brown on bass. Organizers of the outdoor performance give the distanced audience members plenty of room to boogie, and require masks.
Saturday 3/27, $10, 4pm. IX Art Park, 522 Second St., SE. ixartpark.org.
