Live from Louisiana!

Sat, May 24 | Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble

Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble, from the heart of Creole country in Southwest Louisiana, bring their fresh take on a deep and powerful tradition to get the joint jumpin’ and make the people dance. Join us for dinner and drinks starting at 4pm and on, food by Chef Tay. 7pm Zydeco dance lesson / 8pm showtime, get your tix here today! $25 adv + fees / $30 dos. Combining irresistible grooves and Zydeco rhythms with Curley’s soulful, bluesy vocals, this band is a guaranteed good time, every time. Their shows, bursting with energy and joy, turn any occasion into an outright party. This is down home Zydeco, direct from Louisiana — with roots in French, African American, and Afro-Caribbean styles — interpreted through Curley’s family for generations and conveyed in his contemporary style. Blues, R&B, and modern beats merge past and present to create a party that welcomes everyone and beckons eager bodies to the dance floor. Come get you some Louisiana love! Thank you to our sponsor: Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival!

The Burly Roughnecks are led by Jo Miller’s superb vocals and unerring rhythm guitar, and their mighty tight ‘n’ tasty dance beat will put you right in the groove. Jo was the lead singer of the legendary “almost all girl” western swing band, Ranch Romance, who released three albums on Sugar Hill Records, toured with kd lang, won every music award available in Seattle and was one of the most popular festival acts in North America in the mid-1980s. She then came back with a vengeance at the turn of the century with the Burly Roughnecks, who swing like crazy, dress just right and rhythmically knock your socks off. We hope to see y’all there!
