Grab your lawn chairs, call your friends, and get ready — summer nights downtown are almost back.

Terrance Simien and his daughter Marcella share the stage for an unforgettable night of traditions, influences, and generations. 

In Creole traditions, zydeco music is a continuation of a family bloodline of rhythm and resistance — handed down through memory and melody. It’s a heritage that lives in the hands of the accordion, the rubboard, and the voices that keep the stories alive while connecting the past with the present.
