LN and the Crush offers a mixture of both classic and modern music.

Geno Delafose is a zydeco accordionist and singer. He is one of the younger generations of the genre who has created the sound known as the nouveau zydeco. His sound is deeply rooted in traditional Creole music with strong influences from Cajun music and also country and western. His father is the famous zydeco accordion player John Delafose, according to his official website.

Bronco’s album’s introduction to the Country Music scene is definitely fresh and has been gaining more and more recognition. It has been landing him gigs with national acts such as Eli Young Band, Little Texas and Casey Donahew, just to name a few.

Champagne Room performs a genre of R&B, Motown, Funk, Disco and Old-School Hip-Hop sure to encourage dancing.

Food and drink vendors will be on site beginning at 12 p.m. noon.
