Strawberry Park will present our 14th Annual "Blast from the Bayou" Cajun Zydeco Festival on June 10-13, 2010. It is always difficult to choose bands, as there are some folks who are always looking to see new faces on stage, while there are a few bands that the dancers expect to see back almost every year. For 2010, we have 2 of the top 3 Cajun bands (in most people's opinion), with The Pine Leaf Boys and Steve Riley returning (figuring Beausoleil would round out the "top 3" and they were here a couple years back and will probably return in the future), as well as Cajun newcomers JimmyJo & The Jambol'Ayuhs from Maine, as well as Jesse Lege and Bayou Brew. On the Zydeco side, for the first time, we are presenting 3 of the premier LA/TX artists (each of these 3 considered to be among the top 5 in the world) with Geno Delafose (pictured) and Brian Jack back from 2009, and Chris Ardoin making his return after being away for a couple of years. In addition, Li'l Anne (from NY) returns, as well as Dennis Stroughmatt (from Ill). Each year, we also present some dance bands that are not quite Cajun or Zydeco, and for 2010 we are pleased to see the return of the Derailers, as well as Donna the Buffalo (been a couple of years since the herd rolled in) and Girl Howdy, with some swing dancing. Still finalizing the specific days on which some of the performers will appear, but it looks to be our strongest line up ever.
