More Information
As the last of summer lingers in the air, four-time Grammy nominee Cedric Watson leads a high-spirited celebration on the center’s lawn.
A master fiddler, accordionist, and songwriter based in South Louisiana, Watson brings Cajun and Creole traditions to life, channeling centuries of African, Native American, French, and Spanish influence. With his band, Bijou Creole, he moves seamlessly from ancient contra dance melodies to modern Zydeco grooves, tossing in bluegrass fiddle tunes for good measure.
Rhythmic, soulful, and irresistibly danceable, this open-air concert invites you to gather, move, and start the season in full swing.
This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.*
In the case of inclement weather, this event will be held in the Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre.
