Rockin' on the Bayou + T.G.I.F.

 
It's been an absolute blast here in Cajun Country, the past few days and the weekend is only beginning! Here are a few pics of last night's "Rockin' on the River" concert in River Ranch, featuring Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. The crowd anxiously waited for the band to start.

 
Dancing, dancing, and more dancing is all this crowd wanted to do!

Steve and the Boyz, rocking the crowd!

Then, tonight at the T.G.I.F. block party, at Downtown Alive, there was more music and more dancing to the awesome blues sounds of The Marty Christian Band. They kicked things off for the fabulous Henry Gray and the Cats and were really getting down!




Henry Gray is 84 years young and can still play the daylights out of that keyboard! They were hotter than Tabasco sauce and reminded me of N'awlins.


The crowd was hungry and ready to eat. Joy's Curbside had a line that seemed to go so slow, but it was worth the wait. This is the best for Jambalya and Hot Sausage Poboys.



 
I will be headed to the swamp this weekend for more Cajun adventures and a barbeque, before going to the weekly dance at Whiskey River on Sunday. Horace Trahan and The Ossun Express will entertain the crowd. Oh the life of a Cajun, is oh so fun!
 
Hope ya'll have a fun and happy weekend! Lassiez les bon temps rouler!
 
Have all the fun you can!

Live From Breaux Bridge- It's The Crawfish Festival !

It was a beautiful day at The Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival. A tad warm and humid, but with a nice breeze, which kept it from feeling quite so hot. Thousands upon thousands of fans of some of the area's hottest bands were cutting the rug at the festival today, while the aroma of tons of spicy crawfish filled the air and enticed many to indulge in the tasty mudbugs. I ate at least 5 lbs and they were FAB, and so hot and spicy! Cest bon, cher!

I had my eye on this one food booth called Roger's Cajun Pistols. A little later after some Zydeco dancing, I decided to try the Crab, Shrimp, and Crawfish Pistols and "Lawdy Miss Clawdy", they were fabulous! Oh cest' bon!

The Cajun dance contest was a blast and was the fine art of Cajun and Zydeco dancing at it's best. We took a break and headed over to Daiquiris on Wheels for a little refreshment in the form of frozen strawberries and then headed over to the Festival Stage where Steve Riley and The Mamou Playboys were playing and rev-ing up the crowd. The heat was really rising off the dance floor with a whole lot of boogie-ing going on.

Another fun day and another great festival! Let the good times roll!
