BOOGIE ON THE BAYOU featuring The Marcia Ball Band and Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience
Boogie on the Bayou
brings together two GrammyÒ winning legends of zydeco
music in one, rollicking concert. USA Today calls the Texas born,
Louisiana raised Marcia Ball “a sensational, saucy singer and superb
pianist... where Texas stomp-rock and Louisiana blues-swamp meet."
She is famed worldwide for igniting a full-scale roadhouse rhythm and blues
party every time she strolls on stage. Singing songs about wild parties,
twisted motel affairs and the enduring power of love, Ball is famed worldwide
for igniting a full-scale rhythm and blues party every time she strolls on
stage.
One of Louisiana’s favorite
sons, Terrance Simien is a multi-GrammyÒ Award winner internationally known for his live
performances. For over 30 years Simien,
an 8th generation Louisiana Creole, has been creating a hypnotic blend of New
Orleans flavored funk-reggae, world-blues music. One of the most respected and
accomplished artists in American roots music today, he can be heard (and seen,
with a little help from Disney) in the Oscar-nominated animated film “The
Princess & The Frog” set in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

"Ball plays masterful, red hot tracks from the
Texas-Louisiana border. Her voice can break your heart with a ballad or break
your back with a rocker." –Boston
Herald
“Simien is a Zydeco Master: his voice yearning like Sam
Cooke, he delivers soul worthy of Stax greats and shows crossover class.”
–Rolling Stone
