* Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic at Vasona this Sat, July 6th *
*************************************************************
Be prepared to dance! Grammy-nominated Andre Thierry and Zydeco
Magic is up next in the Vasona Vibrations Concert Series, 5pm,
this Saturday, July 6th.

Grammy nominated Andre Thierry has been called the closest
accordion player to Clifton Chenier that we'll see in our
lifetime. A virtuoso of all accordion types, single row, double
row, triple row and piano key, Thierry effortlessly delivers
everything from a traditional Creole waltz to a hard driving
blues that is his own sound.

In 2008 and again in 2012, Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic was
named Zydeco Band of the Year by the Bay Area Blues Society.
This year, Andre was nominated for the 2013 Grammy for Regional
Roots music.

Although born and reared in northern California, Andre's French
Creole heritage is deeply rooted in Louisiana. Michael Tisserand,
author of The Kingdom of Zydeco, considered the definitive book
on the history of zydeco music, wrote:

      "In America, great migrations produce great music. Just as
      Delta musicians took Highway 61 to Chicago and electrified
      their blues, so did the Creoles and Cajuns migrate to
      California and establish vital dance communities. The
      California scenes now rival anything back home in
      Louisiana, and that's due to players like Andre Thierry,
      a standard bearer for the new generation. Thierry is among
      the best of both the West Coast and the Gulf Coast, and he
      combines youthful vigor with a mature appreciation for his
      inherited tradition."
