Louisiana Roots: ANDRE THIERRY & ZYDECO MAGIC


Saturday Aug 10, 2013, 7:00PM

Current GRAMMY nominee Andre Thierry is a phenomenal talent who has

been capturing the attention of other musicians and music lovers since he was a
young boy. At only 33 years old, he is already a legend. There is widespread

agreement that he is an exceptional multi-dimensional musician who has a

finely-honed ability to merge traditional Zydeco music with hip-hop, blues,

jazz and rock. Building from his love and respect for traditional Zydeco, his

original music is a blend of old and new. His musical mastery enables him to

create a unique sound for his and future generations while staying true to the

past.


Andre
Thierry and Zydeco Magic received the West Coast Blues Hall of Fame award for
“Best Zydeco Group” in 2008, and continue to raise the bar for Zydeco musicians
worldwide. At this early age Andre is already a legend, building from his love
and respect for traditional Zydeco, his original music, and a mastery that
enables him to create a unique sound for his and future generations while
staying true to the past.


From the
Great Clifton Chenier “ if you dance, your aches and pains will

disappear.”  The wooden dance floor will
be on the turf for this event, and a pre-concert 2 step dance class will get
you set!


For
the last year Andre Thierry has worked with Felecia Gaston's group Performing Stars of Marin.  The
young boys have learned Zydeco music now play the rubboard, have advanced to
drums and have created their own performing group. “Zydeco Boys” will offer an
opening number.


Andre has also spent time with Marin Schools of the Arts,

working with Rock Band Director
Rhian Robinson and her students. They were taught to play and perform zydeco
songs and will also help get this night of fabulous music started.




The beautiful
and safe Swig Field is surrounded by Marin hills and begs for picnicking, but will
offer the choice of purchasing delicious as well as affordable meals on-site
from San Rafael’s
Roadside BBQ pop-up Restaurant.  No alcohol is allowed to be brought in, but
is available for purchase. 


Performing
Stars of Marin will
host the Kid Zone, offering up a zydeco music art project alongside the
playground for youngsters.  A Georgi & Willow pop-up shop will
offer festival shopping and add to the full Marin community experience.


Special
guests will include families from Marin
City, Brandeis
Hillel Day

School and Marin
School of the Arts.
