Music@BCM
Robin Lacy & DeZydeco
Thursday, June 28
|
|
Robin Lacy & DeZydeco light up the Music@BCM stage in Devou Park on June 28 with their special gumbo of music, exuberance and Mardi Gras beads.
Taking lessons from the deep roots of New Orleans and Louisiana culture, this six-piece group lets the good times roll by combining original songwriting with zydeco, blues, old school country and rock. Since 1989, Robin Lacy & DeZydeco has stood apart from the mainstream with its unique instrumentation, which includes an accordion, saxophone and rubboard, found mainly in the Zydeco and Cajun-styled bands of Southwest Louisiana.
Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 3-12. Museum members pay for one admission and get the second one free. Adult beverages are available for purchase. Concert-goers can also purchase food by Colonial Cottage of Erlanger, KY, supporting local community organizations. Parking is free.
The Music@BCM concert series resumes on July 12 with the Leroy Ellington Band and continues each Thursday through August 10.
Music@BCM is sponsored by Ashley Development, Colonial Cottage, Ruth Faragher & Family, Ersatz & Moot Point Railway Company and the Alumni of WNOP Jazz, Hummel Hatfield Insurance Agency, George & Margaret McLane Foundation, Reality Tuesday Café, KW Mechanical and the Rich & Lisa Boehne Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
Behringer-Crawford Museum is supported in part by our members, the City of Covington, Kenton County Fiscal Court, ArtsWave, Kentucky Arts Council, the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame and The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. US Bank Foundation.
