It’s the last chance this year for Roots Music fans to dance, dine, and enjoy authentic music at Fredericksburg’s Pioneer Museum on Saturday, Sept 26, 2009.
The concert’s theme is Cajun and Zydeco.
Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band perform from 8 to 10 p.m. Billed as "The World's Premier Zydeco Showman," the third-generation zydeco artist started playing in his dad’s band. Carrier has toured the world with the Bayou Swamp Band and recorded five CDs.
Charles Thibodeaux grew up in Beaumont, Texas, hanging around his cousin’s legendary Rodair Club in Port Acres. Influenced by Cajun musicians Andrew Cormier, Rodney LeJeune, and others, Thibodeaux started learning Cajun accordion at 16. He formed Austin Cajun Aces in 2004, and has built a following throughout Texas.
The Gulf Coast Playboys Trio return for their second Roots appearance. Their fans favor their mix of down-home, traditional Cajun two-steps and waltzes, country two-steps and shuffles, plus Tex-Mex polkas, cumbias and more.
The Longhorn Street Cafe will lay out a Cajun-style spread from 5pm-10pm. Meal includes Shrimp Gumbo; choice of Shrimp Ettoufee, Crawfish Ettoufee, Boudin or Red Beans & Rice; Herb Roasted Potatoes, Mixed Vegetables, and Dinner Roll; and Baileys Apple Crisp Cobbler for dessert.
Meal is $10. Beer, wine, soft drinks available for purchase. Admission is $12. Students high school age and younger are free. Parking is free. The Pioneer Museum is located at 325 West Main Street in Fredericksburg, with concert entrance on Milam Street.
Roots Music is a series of live, open-air eclectic concerts on the grounds of the Pioneer Museum on Main Street in Fredericksburg, Texas. Concerts feature both emerging and established artists in an informal, family setting.
