23^rd Annual Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Music Festival

Memorial Day Weekend 26-27 May 2012

http://simicajun.org/

The 23rd Annual Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Music Festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, May 26th & 27th, 2012.

2012 promises to continue our tradition of bringing fans a full weekend of nonstop award-winning entertainment, more food choices than you can sample in two days, and activities to keep kids of all ages entertained too.

The first stage will feature 9 hours of continuous music each day. Featured will be international and award winning Cajun, Creole and Zydeco music acts.

The second stage will feature the Delta Groove All-Star Blues Revue on Saturday and world-class blues and roots acts on Sunday.

Both stages feature lots of viewing space plus large dance floors.

In addition, this family friendly event has a giant kids area featuring bouncers, rock walls, specialty acts, crafts and talent shows. There are also food booths and many crafts and merchandise booths.

Gator-by-the-Bay

The festival will be Mother’s Day weekend, May 11-12-13 in San Diego. Reservations are now open at the next door Sheraton for the Lanai rooms at $119 + tax per night. Check the web site www.gatorbythebay.com for the schedule of bands. Bands will include Chubby Carrier, Steve Riley, Commander Cody (of “Hot Rod Lincoln” fame) & Bonsoir Catin Cajun Band.

June 3^rd * DEXTER ARDOIN AT THE PETROLEUM CLUB .

ADMISSION $ 20.00

Portland Waterfront Blues Fest

The festival begins Wednesday, July 4th. & runs through Sunday, July 8th. this year. The signature blues acts have yet to be announced. However, bands playing on the zydeco stage Friday, Saturday & Sunday will include Geno Delafose & French Rockin’ Boogie, Corey Ledet Zydeco Band (he promises he will be there), and the Creole Roots Band made up of Dexter Ardoin, Jeffrey Broussard & Ed Poullard (plus Geno) which will play each set with a different lead. And, we are negotiating with another premier zydeco band from Louisiana, plus Cajun Country Revival w/ Joel Savoy, Jesse Lege & others, TooLoose Cajun Band & Caleb Klauder Band. It is likely Cajun & zydeco music will spill over into Thursday, July 5th., so you will want to come for the entire festival. It will be our 25th. Anniversary, so we will pull out all the stops! And, the zydeco stage is where the action is!!! There will be a dance floor. We are negotiating with a nearby hotel to secure a discount rate. Again this year, we will offer a 5-day pass, plus the discount hotel rate for a tax deductible contribution of $120 to the Oregon Food Bank. More info. later.

CAJUN PROVERB OF THE MONTH:
” Never look down on anybody – unless you’re helping them up.”

From Dana D:

Damn, we sure had a good time last Friday night at the Eagles Hall..The Zydeco Flames played like they have for 20 years now, and we had a very big crowd, with lots of new people..For those who have asked, yes, we get a lot of new people all the time. And most of ’em all have a good time..Some come back and become Zydeco Freaks like we are, some don’t.. But the good thing is that we still get new people..Anyway, it’s all good and thanks again to those who came..was nice seeing many people who didn’t come on New Years..The Flames will be back on the 10th of Feb..celebrating at the very least, Lance and LLoyds Birthdays..There will be more I know..

Speaking of bands that are coming back, Dwight Carrier and his Zydeco Band will be at the Hall this Friday, Jan. 13th, my favorite day..Not many people crank it out like Dwight..he plays the old, hard-driving stuff that is real typical of the Carrier brand of Zydeco..There’s some blues in there as well..Waltzes and shuffles are also in the mix..Dwight played a few weeks back, and with really a couple of guys who didn’t know much, really cranked it out, carried the band, and put on a good show..we’ve had people ask when he’s playing, so here you go..Dance lesson at 8:30, music at 9pm..

Have to also say it’s going to be going on Sat., with the Niners and the Saints going at it down at the ‘Stick..Drew Brees and the Saints look real good, but I have faith in my Niners..The Empire is back, and New Orleans hasn’t faced a D like the Niners all year..Plus, as we know, Defense wins championships..So Go Niners..

Next week, Don’t forget that Rosie Ledet is in town..they’ll be joined by the great Chuck Bush on Bass, and in some ways it’s a trip that more people who come to Eagles know Chuck better than Rosie!! yeah, it’s true..it’s sure to be a good show, as Rosie ALWAYS puts one on, so we’ll see you there..

Lisa Lees Basic Class was fun last week, and there’s always room for more..the Basics are covered, plus, leads and follows, turns, different rhythms, slides, etc..there’s a lot to have fun with..8:30 at the Beat is the place 2560 9th St. so we’ll see you there..it’s fun all the way around..

We’ll see you Friday for Dwight..

Thanks for all the support and remember to keep on dancing..

“Up-Close-and-Personal” with Michael Doucet and BeauSoleil

January 21, 2pm, Poway Center for the Performing Arts

The Poway Center for the Performing Arts Foundation is proud to present the next installment in its “Up-Close-and-Personal” Series on January 21, 2012 at 2pm at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. Michael Doucet of the Grammy Award-winning Cajun band BeauSoleil will host a discussion on the history and style of Cajun music. Like the gumbo made famous by his home state, Doucet’s presentation – which will include all members of BeauSoleil — will be heavily spiced with lively playing and tasty anecdotes. Doucet’s discussion will be followed by a Q&A with the audience. “Up Close and Personal” with Michael Doucet is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Grammy Award-winners and 11-time Grammy nominees – plus multiple wins and nominations for OffBeat Magazine’s Best of the Beat Awards – BeauSoleil are the preeminent practitioners of Cajun music in the United States. They hold the distinction of being one of the most frequent guests on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion and count Bob Dylan and Alan Toussaint among their outspoken fans.

This Cajun band still knows how to put on a show after 30+ years. BeauSoleil’s success has led to some major gigs including the Super Bowl XXX Halftime Show, a Bravo television special, “Dancing to New Orleans” and regular appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival where they received one of their Grammy’s for Best Zydeco Or Cajun Music Album: Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (2009).

“Up Close and Personal with Michael Doucet” is presented as part of the Poway Center for the Performing Arts (POW) Foundation’s Arts in Education Initiative, a series of programs designed to give students and the public interaction with working artists. The Initiative includes in-school workshops, assemblies, master classes and one-on-one work with artists, musicians and actors.

BeauSoleil performs in concert at the Poway Center at 8pm on January 21st.

Tickets available at www.powayarts.org

For more on the Arts in Education Initiative, visit http://www.powayarts.org/artsInEducation.html

“Up Close and Personal with Michael Doucet” is brought to you by AT&T.

While there you can see some of my other recently uploaded YouTube travel videos.

I’m starting to get the hang of it.
