C.J. Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band event
Originally an R&B saxophonist, CJ Chenier eventually found his familial calling as a squeezebox-playing king of zydeco, joining then subsequently leading his legendary father's Red Hot Louisiana Band. Chenier has gone on to carve out a nice career of his own, occasionally working in the sudio with rock stars (Paul Simon on "The Rhythm of The Saints," The Gin Blossoms on "New Miserable Experience") or country purists (The Tarbox Ramblers back him on a recent CD). Chenier's calling card is infectious blues-drenched party music with a Bayou beat, but his live sets and CDs make room for some surprising cover selections -- his "Desperate Kingdom of Love" album gets its title track from PJ Harvey!
