Every year, Lundi Gras Love has something a little different. Last year we got sophistiratchet with the BIGGEST MAMA MIA X. Before that we took a trip over to Xavier with R&B legend, Kenny Lattimore. We've been blown away by the powerhouse vocals of Frenchie Davis and mesmerized by the jazz stylings of our brother, T.C. Carson in 2022…to the bounce-tacular party in honor of Leah Chase, featuring Ha-Sizzle, Sunni Patterson and Tonya Boyd-Cannon in 2020 to the Floacist of Floetry in 2016! It’s always a PARTY!

Here's a highlight from one of our favorite LUNDI GRAS LOVE performances!
