The days are getting longer, it's warming up in Acadiana and that can only mean one thing, Rhythms on The River is almost back.

The 2nd annual Concert for a Cure will be held on Sunday, June 26, 2022, at Rock 'n' Bowl de Lafayette in downtown Lafayette.

Downtown Alive!, Lafayette's longest-running free outdoor concert series, kicks off its 2019 fall season tonight at Parc International.

Acadiana's own Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band were playing at Rock 'n' Bowl in New Orleans when 74-year-old Deacon Piero Caserta collapsed on the dance floor.

Chubby Carrier and The Bayou Swamp Band will be taking their party to New Orleans this New Year's Eve and will be performing on national television.

The likes of Jo-El Sonnier, Wayne Toups, Chubby Carrier, Roddie Romero, Charlene Howard and many others showed up at Dockside Studio Today to film a video for the upcoming release of 'Healing Song', a remake of Jo-El's version from several years ago.

A few weeks ago at Dockside Studio in Maurice I had the honor of watching as Grammy award winner Jo-El Sonnier and some of his musician friends laid down tracks to the new updated version of "Healing Song", a song Jo-El wrote and recorded as a solo hit many year ago.

Pelican Park in Carencro hosts the final 'Mercredi' concert tonight from 6:00 - 8:30pm - This week enjoy the sounds of Jamie Bergeron and the Kickin' Cajuns!

Friday's weather doesn't look too promising, but Saturday and Sunday should be beautiful! Here are our picks for fun things to do this weekend, March 28 - 30, 2014.

Mark your calendar for Thursday July 4th, downtown Lafayette. Enjoy music, food, fun and FIREWORKS!

While we were recovering from Festival International and Jazz Fest here at home, folks in California were celebrating our culture on Harbor Island in San Diego Bay. The Louisiana Office of Tourism sponsored 'Gator by the Bay' which featured music and food from the Bayou State and Lafayette - they even gave away a trip to Louisiana! Bands included and Grammy Award winning Chubby Carrier and the Bay

"ABC's & Do Re Me" got a boost today from sponsors of the Inaugural Soundtown 'Notes For Education' event at Sugar Mill Pond.

Grammy-winning Chubby Carrier & The Bayou Swamp Band will take the stage in Abbeville's historic Magdalen square tomorrow night for "Sounds On The Square."

Grammy Award Winners Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, official band of the CJ and Debbie Ray Sailaway 2010, will host a benefit concert tonight (7/15) for the Opelousas Boys & Girls Club. The concert will be held at Mojo's Sports Bar inside Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino. Chubby plays from 8pm to 10:30pm.

Last night Acadiana was treated to a Fourth Of July performance by The Acadiana Symphony and Grammy winning Chubby Carrier & The Bayou Swamp Band. Chubby will be the last winner of the Grammy for Best Zydeco/ Cajun recording.

CJ and Debbie Ray were visited this morning by Chubby Carrier, who joined them on the CJ and Debbie Ray Sail Away 2011. Chubby brought along his Grammy Award, which, he said, was delivered to his home in a cardboard box via Fed Ex! The Grammy they present at the Awards is just a prop- they take it away after the photo sessions are over...

It looks like the Recording Academy has 'revamped' it's Grammy  categories, eliminating the Cajun/Zydeco field.  They will be rolled into the 'American Roots' music field.  The Academy announced the changes today.

Here's a little sample of the fun we had on the 2011 CJ and Debbie Ray Sail Away featuring Bernadette Lee, Connie G and the Grammy Award-Winning Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band. (But remember, most of  "what happens on da boat, stays on da boat!" and what happened at Carlos & Charlie's... well, that's another story entirely!)

Ain't no party like a Chubby Party!

The 2011 Grammys may have been Gaga's show, but people actually won some awards, too. Biggest shocker (maybe?) was unknown songstress Esperanza Spalding making enemies with a nation of Justin Bieber fans by taking Best New Artist. And Lady Antebellum winning pretty much everything else.
