Get a Zydeco Fix

Richmond native Andre Thierry formed his first zydeco band when he was 12 years old. Now in his forties, he’s still performing and has even been nominated for a Grammy. The masterful accordionist will headline the Kreole and Krawfish Community Gathering, which will also feature Step Rideau and the Zydeco Outlaws; Gerard Delafose and the Zydeco Gators; and MJ’s Brass Boppers. The event will be held on May 13, 11:30 a.m.–6 p.m., at SOMO Village Event Center in Rohnert Park. Tickets are $35–$65, free for ages 12 and younger, and may be purchased at andrethierry.com/events.
