Louisiana Crossroads Director Todd Mouton sent us this reminder that the fall season of Louisiana Crossroads starts this Thursday, he writes:We’ve got an incredible lineup for our 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8 “Gateway to the Grammys” season-opening show in the Vermilionville Performance Center.
This one-night-only event will feature an amazing lineup of entrants in the 52nd Grammy Awards’ “Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album” category along with a very special appearance by Grammy entrant and Louisiana blues piano legend Henry Gray.
The two sets of music, conversation (and even a little dancing!) will also feature a number of outstanding female artists and help to kick off Festivals Acadiens et Créoles weekend on the right note!
Tickets to this early, smoke-free, all-ages celebration are only $10.00 in advance online at www.LouisianaCrossroads.org or in person at the Acadiana Center for the Arts box office. Food and beverages will be available for purchase, and you can also charge tickets by phone at the advance price by calling (337) 233-7060.
Here’s the lineup!
7 p.m. Bonsoir, Catin (entered for “Vive L’Amour”) featuring band member Christine Balfa Powell (entered for “Plays The Triangle”); special guest Jimmy Breaux (entered for “Live At Festivals Acadiens”); and special guests Ray Landry and Sheryl Cormier (entered on Ray’s Mes Racines Cadien Sont Creux”).
