Strawberry Park is excited to announce many of the performers for our 16th Annual Cajun/Zydeco Festival in Preston CT on June 7-10, 2012. While most of the artists have been confirmed, we are working on finalizing one more Zydeco headliner...and are looking for your input (see the poll). We are extemely excited about the bands already booked for 2012, as we have focused on the Cajun & Zydeco dance bands that our dancers request most. Currently, the 2012 performers will include...
Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie
Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys
Horace Trahan & The Ossun Express
The Pine Leaf Boys
Ryan Brunet & The Malfecteurs
Jesse Lege & Bayou Brew
Li'l Anne & Hot Cayenne
C'est Bon
In seeking one more Zydeco band from outside the Northeast, we have received numerous, numerous suggestions...and while there are many wonderfully worthy bands to consider, we have tried to narrow our survey down to a reasonable number of options. Once again, please note that the results of the poll are non-binding, but we are interested in your opinion. We are considering some bands who have appeared at Strawberry Park in the past, as well as some new faces. In addition, there are some Zydeco bands who are simply unavailable for 2012, but we look forward to their return in 2013 (such as Brian Jack). Therefore, we have offered the following options for the poll, with voting permitted until Sunday, November 20 at midnight.
Keith Frank (it has been a few years since Keith was here)
Jo Jo Reed (performed very well here in 2011)
Li'l Wayne & Same Ole 2 Step (also went over well in 2011)
Andre Thierry (currently located way out in California)
Lisa Haley (also would be coming in from the left coast)
