Southern Artists (and one from the North) Bringin' Flavor To Southern California
The Mint is an avid supporter of the South's rich music culture, often importing the absolute finest talent from the region to share the best of NOLA, and surrounding, with the hungry ears of LALA, and surrounding.
There are many excellent blues, funk, and rock options a-comin to our neck-of-the-West, at The Mint and beyond. If you smell what the Mint is cookin', here are some shows that may be your flavor:
