This benefit concert for WOMR kicks off Payomet’s
4th annual New Orleans Zydeco festival.
The swampy bayous and shimmering marshes of Cajun country are brought vividly to life by the unmatched virtuosity of David Greely, founding fiddler of Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys, and Joel Savoy, of the Savoy Family Band and one-time Redstick Rambler. The GreelySavoyDuo, raised in the heart of Lousiana, both play traditional Cajun fiddle, combining a uniquely intimate performing style and deep love for the music with all the original spice and joie de vivre of Cajun music from generations past.

The New York Times raves...
"Mr. Broussard and his Cowboys are fabulous: You start moving in your seat as soon as their rhythmic, rich melodies, both joyous and mournful, flood the theater."
The band delivers great, pack-the-floor renditions of Creole classics as well as their own brand of contemporary Zydeco featuring the accordion mastery and soulful vocals of front man Jeffery Broussard, from the legendary band, Zydeco Force. These high energy performers are taking the next generation's perspective of this music and presenting it with contemporary flair and expertise.

| Singer/pianist Marcia Ball knows how to raise roofs and tear down walls with her infectious, intelligent and deeply emotional brand of southern boogie, rollicking, roadhouse blues and heartfelt ballads. Over the course of her three-decade career, Ball has earned a huge and intensely loyal following all over the world. Her exquisite piano playing and passionate, playful vocals fuse New Orleans and Gulf Coast R&B with Austin's deep songwriting tradition into a sound No Depression described as "a little rock, a lot of roll, a pinch of rhythm and a handful of blues."
"A sensational, saucy singer and superb pianist... where Texas stomp-rock and Louisiana blues-swamp meet" - USA Today. "Rollicking, playful, good time blues and intimate, reflective balladry...her songs ring with emotional depth." - Rolling Stone
"An irresistible, celebratory blend of rollicking, two-fisted New Orleans piano, Louisiana Swamp rock and smoldering Texas blues from a compelling storyteller." - Boston Globe
"A sensational, saucy singer and superb pianist...where Texas stomp-rock and Louisiana blues-swamp meet" - USA Today
