 Louisiana
Keyboard Commotion!
featuring Buckwheat Zydeco and Marcia Ball
The combination of these two stars promises a memorable event
for the whole family. Buckwheat
Zydeco's latest album, Jackpot!, combines
soulful original tunes, inspired playing and singing, and the
trademark exuberance that's made him the world's foremost and
best-loved zydeco artist. According to The New York Times,
"Buckwheat Zydeco leads one of the best party bands in America."
With 4 Grammy nominations, collaborations with Eric Clapton,
Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, and Keith Richards, and performances
with The Boston Pops and at the closing ceremonies of the Atlanta
Summer Olympics, Buckwheat Zydeco has taken the good time music
of Southwest Louisiana's Creole culture to unprecedented heights.
As an added twist, in addition to Buckwheat's signature accordion,
Buck now also features his mastery of the Hammond B-3 organ.
A Buckwheat Zydeco show is always a family friendly and memorable
event.
Over the course of her three-decade career Marcia Ball
has developed a large and enthusiastic fan base with her blend
of sounds from the Texas-Louisiana border with New Orleans R&B
and piano boogie. A two time Grammy nominee, Marcia Ball has
just released her 12th CD, Live Down The Road!. She
has drawn consistent raves from national print media such as
Rolling Stone, USA Today, People Magazine,
Fortune, Downbeat and Billboard Magazine,
who proclaimed "Ball is a formidable musical force". She has
also appeared on national television in "Austin City Limits",
the PBS special "In Performance At The White House" along with
BB King, and in "Piano Blues", a film directed by Clint Eastwood
as part of Martin Scorcese's The Blues series.
