Lisa Haley & The ZydeKats

Since beginning in 1995, Lisa Haley & the Zydekats have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/Cajun/Zydeco bands.  Lisa’s 2008 Grammy® nominated “King Cake” crashed into Billboard World Chart and the Americana movement with her blue violin and soaring, compelling “cornbread” voice.  Her original tunes and Louisiana Bayou, French Celtic, R&B and Jazz rhythms have represented Zydeco for GRAMMY Museum, Hollywood Bowl Summersounds, Sir George Martin’s (Beatles producer) “Rhythm of Life,” and festivals in over 20 countries.  With three women in her five-piece band, this fourth-generation fiddler, dancer, vocalist, and songwriter compels all ages.  Among her fans are the likes of Keb’Mo’ and Little Richard.

The most joyful Americana/Cajun/Zydeco act on tour today! Prepare to catch “Zydecosis!”
