Great Night of Music

Val and I just got back from a zydeco night at Artpark, featuring Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas and CJ Chenier and His Red Hot Louisiana Band.
Both acts were in fine form, with Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, the openers, taking a more traditional approach to zydeco, while CJ Chenier and His Red Hot Louisiana Band added bits of blues, soul and rock and roll without losing the zydeco feel. Chenier is also a mother of an accordion player, while Nathan Williams is one hell of a frontman, spending lots of time playing his accordion among the dancers.
