Sammy Naquin and the Zydeco Whips

"When you catch Sammy Naquin & the Zydeco Whips onstage they'll cook up a Louisiana musical gumbo, with a strong traditional zydeco/cajun/creole roux, with some zydeco blues (a la the great Clifton Chenier, one of Sammy's early mentors), spiced with New Orleans jazz and R & B, maybe a dash of country and just about anything else he's heard in his travels."

This event is held by Somebody Scream-NY, which is a volunteer, not-for-profit group whose goal is to create "a community of fun-loving people who enjoy Cajun and zydeco music."  All donations go to pay for hall rental and expenses for the band.

There will be a dance lesson at 5 pm, and music from 6 pm - 9:30 pm.  There is a donation of $20 requested.
