The electrifying outfit that released the acclaimed Mardi Gras inspired album Carnivale Electricos are back with a fresh new single “Dolla Diva.” The song is available now on iTunes, Spotify, Rdio and more. “Dolla Diva” features Maggie Koerner and Revivalists frontman David Shaw, who also collaborated with the band for “Hey Na Na” from Carnivale Electricos. Of the new track, Consequence of Sound says, “the band blends together a funky bassline, steady jazz-inspired drums, and Afrobeat guitar for a groove as rich and pulsating as it is worldly.” Koerner is set to join Galactic for their upcoming tour, which kicks off at Turner Hall in Milwaukee on January 30. The band will then make their way across the country over the next two months, including two hometown gigs at Tipitina's in early March, before wrapping up the outing with a two-night run at The Fillmore in San Francisco on March 21 and 22. The New Orleans funk icons are also slated to play a 12 show residency in the newly announced Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas at The LINQ and Jazz Fest on April 27.

Five Washington-based playwrights have formed a new playwrights' collective dedicated exclusively to developing and producing new work. The Welders' inaugural members-playwrights Bob Bartlett, Renee Calarco, Allyson Currin, Caleen Sinnette Jennings, and Gwydion Suilebhan and Executive and Creative Director Jojo Ruf-will write, develop, and produce new plays over the course of the next three years. After their three-year term is complete, the five playwrights will give The Welders' entire operations-everything from the logo to the checking account-to a new generation of five playwrights, who will carry The Welders forward for another three years, and so on into the foreseeable future.
