Voted Best
Cajun/Zydeco Band seven years in a row for The
Times of Acadiana Awards, Jamie Bergeron and the Kickin’ Cajuns have been
playing music for over a decade.
With six CDs under
their belt, the band has become one of the most sought-after acts playing along
the Gulf Coast at festivals, events and clubs. When he’s not playing music,
Bergeron is a paramedic for Acadian Ambulance, where he’s worked for more than
20 years.
Concert-goers are
welcome to bring lawn chairs for seating. Because beverages sales for the
concert series go towards and event expenses, ice chests will not be allowed.

spring 2012 lineup for Music & Market features:
May 18 - Warren Storm, Willie Tee and Cypress (swamp pop);
tomatoes; Courthouse Square
May 25 - Goldman Thibodeaux & the Lawtell Playboys

This event is
