Rusty Metoyer & The Zydeco Krush with Special Guest - Mellow Mood

Lake Charles native, Rusty Metoyer, is one of southwest Louisiana’s premier stars. Metoyer and his unique brand of Zydeco music have thrilled audiences from California to New York, in Holland and France, and every weekend from Houston to New Orleans. Rusty Metoyer was immersed in Creole music from a young age. Both of his grandfathers were Creole musicians. However, he didn’t pick up the accordion until the age of 14 after both grandfathers had passed away and he felt that someone needed to keep the tradition going in the family. In 2010, his senior year of high school, he formed the band Rusty Metoyer and The Zydeco Krush.

Metoyer and his band perform regularly in Louisiana and Texas for a wide variety of events, including festivals, nightclubs, trail rides, corporate events, casinos, and private parties. What makes Metoyer’s music unique are the noticeable influences from many different genres such as funk, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country, hip hop, and soul.

Italy's leading reggae band, Mellow Mood embrace a variety of classic Jamaican sounds while performing with a passion and sincerity that made them stars in Europe and respected by reggae fans around the world. Mellow Mood was formed in 2005 by twin brothers Jacopo Garzia and Lorenzo Garzia, two reggae fans from the Northern Italian city of Pordenone. The Garzia brothers, who handled vocals and guitars, were still in high school when they first formed Mellow Mood, as were most of their bandmates -- Giulio Frausin on bass and vocals, Federico Mazzolo on drums, Romeo Enrico Bernardini on keyboards, Stefano Salmaso on sax, and Roberto Dazzan on trumpet. The group was discovered in 2009 by Paolo Bandini, a producer who helped Mellow Mood refine their sound and was behind the controls for their first album, 2009's Move!
