You're reading an older Hightower Lowdown article. Jim's still writing — twice a week on Substack.
Marcia Ball is not only a great Texas-born, Louisiana-raised pianist, songwriter, and vocalist, but she’s also a passionate activist and advocates for loads of issues– environmental work, artist support, and so much more. In anticipation of Fat Tuesday celebrations, Marcia and Hightower will trade stories about the essential role of culture — food, music, dancing, and fun — in the politics of progressive change. You might even hear a song or two!
