Blues & Creole Night
Cedric Watson, a standout young talent in Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco music, played Monday, February 24, 2025, at 8 p.m. at The Ark in Ann Arbor, bringing the vibrant sounds of Southwest Louisiana to the stage. The event was backed by Blue LLama Jazz Club.
Cedric Watson is a four-time Grammy-nominated fiddler, singer, accordionist, and songwriter from Texas who immersed himself in Louisiana's French and Creole culture. His music revives the ancient French and Spanish dance sounds mixed with spiritual rhythms from West African Congo tribes brought to the Caribbean and Louisiana by early settlers.
That night also featured blues veteran Rev. Robert Jones, Sr., a multi-instrumentalist deeply rooted in the Detroit music scene, and Creole du Nord, a lively band led by Mark Palms delivering vibrant Cajun and Zydeco grooves inspired by their Louisiana roots but nurtured in Michigan. The show happened at The Ark in Ann Arbor, where attendees had to use the stairs since the elevator was under repair.
Tickets were priced at $25 and were available through The Ark.
