March 23, 2013 Grammy Award winner Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band kick-off the 2013 Sugar Jam concert series at Sugar Mill Pond tonight. Activities roll from 6pm-9pm.
April 6, 2011 The Grammy awards are supposed to be about music, all music. I think they have become more about a seriously dull television show over the past few years. The announcement that Cajun/Zydeco and several other regional and real American music genres would no longer be recognized by the alleged music industry makes me very angry and hurts my soul. It was bad enough the Grammys didn't see fit to share winners in the Cajun/Zydeco category with a national TV audience before but to now basically say we don't want your kind at our party, for shame. Our friends at KATC visited with some of our local Grammy winners and got their take on the whole story.
February 14, 2011 Congrats to Chubby Carrier and his Bayou Swamp Band, winners of this year's Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album at the Grammy Awards! His latest effort is entitled "Zydeco Junkie" and it features special guests Jamie Bergeron and Geno Delafose.
