Planet Zydeco to Perform at New London Main Street Fundraiser | Zip06 - Community News from Southeastern Connecticut: "Come have a ball at New London Main Street’s Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball on Saturday, February 26 from 6 – 10pm at the New London Elks Lodge at 81 Washington Street. Planet Zydeco - a lively and popular Zydeco band from New England, will perform at the event. This incredible sextet performs all throughout the Northeast. Planet Zydeco captures the essence of traditional rural-style accordion-driven dance music as it is played in clubs and dance halls in southwest Louisiana. Band mates hail from southern Vermont, western Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Their funky syncopated sound includes Rose Sinclair on accordion, Peter Pettengill and Nick Keil on twin electric guitars and harmony vocals, Alan Bradbury on bass, Doug Plavin on drums and Suzanne Wozniak on rubboard. They give nod to both Creole and Cajun tradition with covers such as Keith Frank tunes, the Ardoin Brothers, Geno Delafose and then toss in a “Jolie Blonde” and a Dewey Balfa song. Their album is recorded all live in the studio and their tunes are sure to keep folks moving on the dance floor! In addition to performing, they will conduct a free Zydeco beginner’s dance class for all those interested in learning the traditional dance. Bring your friends – no partner necessary!":Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text. Copyright remains with the original copyright holder.
