Triple-Crown Gala Fundraiser

Presented by Monticello Opera House at Monticello Opera House

The MOH is celebrating its 128th year with our Triple-Crown Gala, featuring live music from The Sauce Boss & Crooked Shooz

May 5th, 2017
Doors 6:30 / Dinner & Show 7:00

Come join us for our annual gala which will be full of fun, music and surprises including this year’s entertainment from none other than the original

SAUCE BOSS, BILL WHARTON.

Bill "Sauce Boss" Wharton brings his own hot sauce to every gig, and he cooks a big pot of gumbo, while smoking his slide guitar. At the end of the Show, everyone gets a bowl.

Sauce Boss not only plays slide, sings his tamales off, makes gumbo, and feeds everybody… he also plays a drum kit with his feet. “You take that 53 Telecaster, pump it through that 48 Fender amp, add a bass rig, mix in some drums, all simmered down over some funky swamp blues, and smothered with gumbo, and you got a recipe for a good time."

CROOKED SHOOZ will keep the party going! This Tallahassee favorite is sure to get you on the dance floor. Mark Blair on percussion, Robert "The Doctor" Wilson on keys, and Dehryl "Bubba" McCall on drums.

Dinner will be provided by Carrie Ann & Co:
Two cold salads, Seafood Gumbo, Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, Rice, Crusty breads with butter, and Assorted Desserts.

Ticket includes two free drinks from the bar.

All proceeds go to support the historic preservation of the Monticello Opera House.

This event will include a silent auction and participation from local celebrities! Plus a dance party after the main event!
