Marcia Ball, the four-time Grammy-nominated “Bayou Queen of the Piano,” heads this all-star evening of music from the American South and Gulf Coast. An eight-time Blues Music Award winner, she mixes her infectious brand of New Orleans piano boogie with Texas roadhouse, R&B, honky-tonk, swamp music, and ballads. Slide guitar master Sonny Landreth is a guitarist with a signature style incorporating Delta blues, Zydeco, and Southern Rock; while dobro and steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar won five Grammys during her years with Asleep at the Wheel. With a voice like Sam Cooke, Terrance Simien is another Grammy Award winner who blends Zydeco, Roots, New Orleans Funk, and Afro-Caribbean world rhythms; his music was featured in the 2009 Disney film The Princess and the Frog.
