The event includes amazing live music featuring Waylon Thibodeaux, Nick Moss, and Dirty Water Blues Band on the Tin Shed Porch.
Nick Moss is at the forefront of contemporary Chicago blues. His muscular, electric energy combines jaw-dropping guitar, gruff, soulful vocals and impassioned songwriting.
NICK MOSS BAND - Recognized as one the great guitarists of his generation, garnering accolades from Buddy Guy and praise from Jambase, Relix, and Gratefulweb.com among many others. Nick Moss' recording career spans decades and his albums are staples at blues radio outlets worldwide, and are now in rotation at stations with jam and rock formats.
Nick Moss Band has a legion of fans that flock to his shows, knowing that each night will be a grand musical experiment. There will be sonic textures to discover and new sounds to stir the soul.
WAYLON THIBODEAUX - Born in Louisiana’s ‘Bayou Country’ just a few miles southwest of New Orleans, Houma native Waylon Thibodeaux has been dubbed “Louisiana’s Rockin Fiddler”. Today, this talented, self-taught Cajun musician has gained a notable reputation as one of Louisiana’s best known recording artists. His talents have led him to play festivals, clubs and other special events throughout the United States, Canada, France, Central and South America. His rollicking, crowd-pleasing performance on stage is exactly what one would expect from someone who, at age 16, was Louisiana’s state fiddle champion. He never fails to serve up a good helping of spicy, high-energy Louisiana and Cajun/Zydeco music.
DIRTY WATER BLUES BAND -For Mark Dufrene Jr., the Dirty Water Blues Band has been years in the making. Dufrene, drummer and vocalist for the band, said he and guitarist Dexter Danos have grown up together in the music business. "My uncle and his father used to play together years ago," Dufrene said. "It's somewhat of a family thing." Dufrene's father, Mark Sr., played bass in a successful band called Halifax throughout south Louisiana in the '70s and '80s.
For just $40, you could taste gumbo from some of the best chefs and gumbo cooks the country has to offer, while supporting a historical landmark with cool programming that elevates our community all while listening to some fabulous live music. Rock 'N' Roux teams are comprised of local, regional and nationwide businesses and organizations. The event is a great way to enjoy some of the finest gumbo while connecting with friends in the community - all for a great cause!
