Zydeco T |

Since 2000 Zydeco T has been a favorite of dancers, music lovers and festival goers from Miami to Wichita. Through a combination of traditional Zydeco classics, contemporary standards, and original material, they are certain to get your feet moving. As they often shout from stage "you may not know how to Zydeco dance, but we'll bet you know how to shake your rump!"
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Zydeco T began with one mission in mind -- be a band for dancers. This is a simple task since three of their members are avid Zydeco dancers and two of them are dance teachers with Louisiana roots. They know what dancers like and they provide it for them. If there is a dancer hiding inside you, they will find it.
The bottom line is having a good time and that's what Zydeco T is all about. This is one of the most fun bands you can experience. They are an excellent addition to any festival, music club, dance weekend, or private event.
As they say in Louisiana -- laissez les bon temps roulez!!! That means "let the good times roll!" You are guaranteed good times with Zydeco T. |

Formed in the spring of 2009, The Whiskey Gentry is a band of Atlanta misfits that defy categorization in Atlanta's saturated music market. From bluegrass to punk to old-time country, The Whiskey Gentry combine accomplished musicianship with high-energy stage shows that are sure to provide many a night of pickin' and dancin' for the southeast music scene. Having recently been chosen by Paste Magazine as the “Best of What’s Next,” The Whiskey Gentry have established themselves among the Atlanta music elite. They have shared the stage with artists such as Doc Watson, Old Crow Medicine Show, Rhett Miller of the Old 97s, John Popper, Ed Roland of Collective Soul, Chatham County Line, Slobberbone, and many other national touring acts.
The band is currently celebrating the release of its first full-length record, “Please Make Welcome.” Engineered and co‐produced by John Keane who's credits include work with R.E.M., Indigo Girls and Widespread Panic amongst others, the 14-track album is a culmination of two years worth of writing and recording. “Please Make Welcome” ably captures their high-energy stage shows- intermixing country, bluegrass, punk, gospel and rock, often within the same song. These elements are woven together with Lauren Staley Morrow's innocently stunning vocals, rendering an expressive compilation of folk tales. |
