It’s that time of the year again, as Colorado favorites Mountain Standard Time return to Colorado’s Front Range to throw their annual Mardi Grass celebration. MST created Mardi Grass four years ago to bring a New Orleans Mardi Gras party to the beautiful landscape of Colorado. Past years have included special guests Jeff Austin of Yonder Mountain String Band, Todd Sheaffer and John Skehan of Railroad Earth, Andy Thorn of Leftover Salmon and Benny Galloway of songwriting acclaim. This year the tradition with very special guest Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth joining the band for all three nights. After MST returns from their Winter Tour in the Colorado mountains, the celebration kicks off in Boulder on Friday, February 28th, followed by Denver, March 1st, and Fort Collins, March 2nd.Tour Dates2.06 The State Room | Salt Lake City, UT2.07 Whiskey Jacques | Ketchum, ID2.08 Knotty Pine | Victor, ID2.09 Big Sky Big Grass at Whiskey Jack’s | Big Sky, MT2.14 three20south | Breckenridge, CO2.15 Agave | Avon, CO2.28 Fox Theatre | Boulder, CO -featuring Tim Carbone*3.01 Bluebird Theater | Denver, CO -featuring Time Carbone*3.02 Hodi’s Half Note | Fort Collins, CO -featuring Tim Carbone**Mardi Grass 2014
