Zydeco group will perform at Southeastern | Arts & Culture

One of Louisiana’s most celebrated musical talents, Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. and the Zydeco Twisters will perform at Southeastern Louisiana University’s Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts. The one-night only performance is scheduled Saturday, June 4, at 7:30 p.m.

When it comes to describing what you can expect from Rockin’ Dopsie Jr, the “American Press” said it best: “He’s boogied with James Brown, packed the House of Blues, played at the White House, and traveled to more cities than a Greyhound. Critics hail him as one of Zydeco’s most cherished symbols, and a party seems to break out whenever and wherever he and his band show up.”

Tickets for Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. and the Zydeco Twisters range from $22 - $32 and are available at the Columbia Theatre box office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. or by phone at (985) 543-4371. Patrons may also get tickets online at www.columbiatheatre.org.
