Passport Series: Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas

Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas (Lafayette, Louisiana / USA):    

2023 Grammy nominee Nathan Williams is a zydeco legend with over three and a half decades under his hat as Southwest Louisiana’s most beloved Creole music pioneer.   

Blessed with a 65^th Grammy Awards nomination for his most recent recording Lucky Man, Nathan and his top-shelf band have more than 35+ years of history as Acadiana’s top R&B, blues, and zydeco ensemble.    Whether he is performing at the likes of NYC’s Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall’s CityWide Concert Series, DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, Europe’s top blues festivals or down home at his brother’s famous El Sido’s Zydeco & Blues Club in Lafayette, Louisiana, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas never fail to get the audience up and shakin’ a leg to their un-rivaled stomp-down zydeco party!

“If you don’t get up and shake a leg, you better call an undertaker – because you’re dead.”
