Zydeco Radio takes over Meyer Park on April 6. Created in 2014, Zydeco Radio is a new generation of young musicians from Lafayette. This powerhouse group influences traditional zydeco funk with rock, blues and a lot of energy. Fans may recognize this quintet from the Waterway Village Zydeco & Crawfish Festival last year. This group is composed of Billy Mack – accordion and vocals, Charles Brent Jr. – drums, Trent Oubre – rubboard and vocals, Bob Brahan – guitar, and Seth Rung – bass.
New Earth Army will close out the 2017 edition of Music at Meyer Park on April 20. This Florida Panhandle based band pulls influences from rock, blues, funk and jazz to create a new yet familiar sound. Melissa Joiner (pictured), a native of Baldwin County, is the lead vocalist for New Earth Army. Submersed in the music scene since birth, Joiner brings a diverse style, creative use of opera training and Delta blues influence to the group.
