Mike Essoudry's Mash Potato Mashers is a new and unique band in Ottawa. It is a parade style band (two drummers and seven horn players) that plays originals and covers in a Balkan, 2nd line, Klezmer, Brazilian and reggae/ska styles.  The band's repertoire includes Hungarian folk tunes, Wade Hemsworth, Zigaboo Modeleste, Toots, Paul Simon, Greek folk tunes, Klezmer tunes, Balkan tunes, and originals. And it's very danceable.
