Black Rock Zydeco delivers a mix of stand-out original songs and Cajun/Creole favorites from classic and contemporary performers. Vocal harmonies, inventive arrangements, and an energetic stage presence all come together for a musical experience that gets crowds moving.

Zydeco is a form of Cajun/Creole dance music from Louisiana, incorporating influences like the blues, rock, jazz, and even country. Zydeco can be fast or slow, a two-step, waltz, shuffle, or fast boogie. Above all, zydeco music is about the spirit of community and celebration—it’s an invitation to everyone (whether you “know how” to dance or not) to get out on the dance floor and move to the music!
