Tis the season to Cajun it up. Join us for music, food, and a costume contest for the best cajun man, women, child or dog. Top three contestants will get complimentary food certificates to the newly opened Ebullition Gastro Lounge in Carlsbad.

If there is a feature of Zydeco music that sets this hybrid of blues apart, it may be the relentlessly upbeat, lets party vibe that permeates so much of it. Where as traditional blues may be about a lowdown woman doing a man wrong, a Zydeco song will more likely be about how she makes a good gumbo and is fun at barbecues. The BAYOU BROTHERS have established themselves locally and beyond as a fixture of the form since the late 90’s, snagged awards (2013 SDMA Best Blues Artists among them), been regulars at all the hottest festivals and have recorded – including their newest CD “High Roller Zydeco”

The lineup includes Jack Stephens (guitar/vocals),Danny”Basscat” Perez (bass and vocals) John Chambers (accordion, keys, vocals), Ric Lee (drums, percussion)and “Sista Judy” Seid (rubboard)
