FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday Party to Benefit the Greenville Jazz Collective

Greenville, SC – February 19, 2020 – Most “Mardi Gras” celebrations take place on the weekends before or after Fat Tuesday but rarely on the actual TUESDAY, according to an informal survey of Greenvillians who enjoy dressing up and partying for a cause.

The Greenville Jazz Collective, in partnership with Chicora Alley (downtown location), want to rectify this tragic situation. No offense to other Mardi Gras parties around town but where can a person go on the actual “Fat Tuesday” to let their proverbial freak flag fly? Here’s a solution that’s just waiting to become a Greenville party tradition:

“Chicora Alley will host a Mardi Gras-themed party on TUESDAY, February 25th to benefit the nonprofit Greenville Jazz Collective with live jazz from 6PM to midnight, food and drink specials, and Chicora’s (soon to be) World Famous Fat Tuesday Gumbo,” according to the nonprofit’s executive director, Bruce Burney.

The party is open to the public ($10 cover) and Chicora is donating 15% of proceeds from the night’s sales to support the very active cultural organization and its many programs, including the Youth Jazz Ensemble, the Furman/GJC Summer Jazz Camp, and the JazzEd Ensemble, which visits elementary, middle, and high schools throughout Greenville and the Upstate to educate students about this uniquely American art form.

“Ben Dixon and the folks at Chicora have long been supportive of our efforts and the restaurant serves as a kind of hub of activity for us, hosting a monthly open jazz jam and 17-piece Big Band concert on the first and third Wednesdays of every month, respectively,” says Burney. “We are very thankful for their commitment and hope that Greenville party-goers will come out on this special weeknight to have fun and help out a great nonprofit at the same time,” he added.

The Greenville Jazz Collective was incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization in 2013 and is dedicated to the performance, presentation, understanding, and appreciation of the jazz tradition and modern improvised music.
