Wayne Toups

Looks like it's time to bust out your kilts and blarney stones, because Patty In The Parc 2016 is all set to go Thursday, March 17th at Parc International in Downtown Lafayette!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of touring the ship with our friends at Travel Machine. And oh what a special ship it is!

This Thursday everyone's a wee bit Irish at Patty in the Parc. Here are 5 great Irish phrases that will help convince everyone you're the real deal and not just cereal box leprechaun.

There are 33.1 million people in the U.S with Irish heritage. Some areas of the country have a higher concentration of folks with Irish roots, and that's where you're going to find some of the biggest celebrations on St. Patrick's Day. But, what cities can be the considered the best places to get your Irish eyes a smilin?

Be listening shortly after 8:00am this Monday, February 1st with Bruce & Jude on 97.3 The Dawg on-air, live here at 973TheDawg.com or via our free app radioPup.

A cruise ship hits the beach at full speed. It's like the captain is parking his car at a shopping center except he is driving a rather large ship.

Book by February 15, 2016 and you can get up to $300 onboard credit per cabin.

If you've cruised before, you know how fantastic some of the nightly shows can be, in addition to all the other wonderful attractions the ship may contain. No longer are passengers just going from Point A to Point B. You want to be occupied and entertained while at sea.

97.3 The Dawg is so excited to team up with Wayne Toups to go cruising in 2016. The Wayne Toups cruise is set to sail on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas on December 11 through December 18, 2016 out of Galveston, Texas.

The 2015 fall season of Downtown Alive! is in full swing and this Friday night is sure to be a great time as Wayne Toups & Zydecajun will be your featured performers.

Everyone is invited out to Parc International this Friday, August 14th for Lafayette's Road to Recovery Concert. This benefit show is in honor of the Lafayette shooting victims and will also raise awareness for mental illness.

This Friday, June 19th at Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino in Opelousas is the one and only Wayne Toups & Zydecajun.

I know we're not done with Christmas but we got to plan what we're doing for New Year's Eve, right?

Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, and Wayne Toups and Zydecajun will both be performing at the 12th annual Natchitoches Meat Pie Festival this weekend!

Lafayette Travel has released a music video of the recently named 'Happiest City in America', featuring Wayne Toups and Chubby Carrier!

One of our favorite festivals is just around the corner -- the 2014 Delcambre Shrimp Festival!

I have been hearing the song Tupelo Honey for most of my adult life, up until today I had no idea what the song was really about. Do you know the rest of the story?

This Thursday, April 3rd from 5pm-9pm it's Bikin' on the Block at Cajun Harley Davidson in Scott featuring live music from Wayne Toups & Zydecajun.

This Saturday evening at Parc International in downtown Lafayette is the 4th Annual Patty in the Parc. Gates open at 5:00pm and then shortly after that the music gets cranked up in a hurry with Grammy Award winner Wayne Toups & Zydecajun.

Since it's Throwback Thursday (#TBT), and in preparation for Patty in the Parc 2014, we thought it would be fun to take a trip down Memory Lane with Wayne. You'll be able to catch the 2014 version of Wayne on March 15, 2014 at Parc International in Downtown Lafayette...
