Monogram Hunters: Blood Sweat and Tear
Monogram Hunters' Sweat, Blood, and Tears album was recorded in 2019 and 2020 at the First and Last Stop Bar. The Black Masking Indian Tribe traditionally holds practice there leading up to Mardi Gras Day. The 2 disc album is a mix of music and oral history of the tribe and its current members. All album sales go to Big Chief Pie to support tribe activities.
