TERRANCE SIMIEN & THE ZYDECO EXPERIENCE

 

When it comes to Creole culture and Zydeco music, two-time Grammy award-winning Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience represent hard. They represent the past, the present, and the future of American roots music. This six-piece inter-generational and multicultural group is highly skilled, formally trained, and very experienced performers. Their expertly curated repertoire is a hypnotic blend of zydeco-roots-reggae-gospel-old soul-funk and New Orleans jazz. This unforgettable live music experience inspires joy, hope, and a deep feeling of community. 

 

Zydeco is the roots music of Black and multiracial, French-speaking Creoles of Louisiana. The main instruments are accordion and frottoir (zydeco rubboard) driven by African and Caribbean rhythms, and in the case of this dynamic group, anchored by extraordinary lead vocals and harmonies. Meet the group: Terrance Simien, (accor-dion, vocals) Danny Williams (keyboards, vocals), Stan Chambers (bass guitar, vo-cals), Ian Molinaro-Thompson (drums), Noah Boshra (saxophone) and a rotating trombone or trumpet.
