Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band
Friday, November 22 at the Vista Room
On Friday, November 22, ACZA has teamed up with the Vista Room to welcome back to Atlanta the best-known Zydeco band in the US today: the Grammy-winning Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band. Chubby Carrier has recorded a dozen albums and headlined major Cajun-Zydeco festivals across the country for the past twenty years. In 2011, he won a Grammy Award for Zydeco Junkie.
A third-generation Zydeco musician and consummate showman, Chubby and the band mix the traditional accordion and washboard boogie with dashes of 70s funk, spices of classic R&B, and swampy covers of song classics.
Music and Dance from 8:30-10:30 pm. Free Zydeco Dance Lesson 7:30-8:30 pm with admission.
Instructor: Anthony Lewis. Napoleon Grill’s menu and full bar.
General admission: $15 advance / $20 at door. Reserved tables available for 4, 6, or 8 people. ACZA members receive a 25% discount – see ACZA email for more info.
