LAFAYETTE, LA – Join Acadiana Center for the Arts on Thursday, April 6th, for a rare night with Preston Frank and the Frank Family Band! One of the innovators of Zydeco music, Preston Frank, and his group the Frank Family Band honed their chops by playing a rare commodity these days: real Creole music.
With deep roots in rural Soileau where Preston Frank was raised, his song, “Born in the Country,” a tribute to the Creole life, has become a standard. Throughout the night, Preston will talk about his influence on and history with Zydeco, along with moderator Roddie Romero. The Frank Family band will also join him on stage for a night filled with fun!
The family band was formed in 1977, recording for the Arhoolie and Lanor labels. Over time the group’s ranks grew to include his children Keith (guitar), Brad (drums) and Jennifer (bass). Carlton Frank, Hamilton Frank, are all past members of the band.
Tickets are available online here.
