Inspired by audience members dancing outside during our Lot Lounge concert days, Kerrytown Concert House is delighted to continue its new Dance Hall Nights series where music lovers will get the option to listen in their seats in the main hall or go and dance in the cleared side hall if the spirit moves them! Coming back to the House to keep the dance hall going once again is Pete Siers – this time for Cajun/Zydeco Night with Creole du Nord! 

Creole du Nord is proud to be a small part of keeping the music of Louisiana spicy with Cajun and Zydeco music played for your pleasure with a smile. With Manchester-based bandleader Mark Palms at the helm, Creole Du Nord beautifully re-creates the irresistibly lively sound of Cajun folk music with a mix of musical history, fine musicianship, and pure dance-floor joy. Frequently singing in Creole, Palms is also a versatile instrumentalist, occasionally picking up a fiddle in between laying down the hip-swinging accordion lines that are the hallmark of the Cajun sound. A fantastic group of musicians, the band will present quintessential New Orleans tunes, lesser-known staples of Cajun music, with some traditional Appalachian numbers thrown in the mix. 

Creole du Nord Band Members:

• Mark Palms – Bandleader / Multi-instrumentalist 
• Carol Palms – Bass / Fiddle
• Billy King – Guitar
• Walter Prettyman – Fiddle
• Pete Siers – Drums

Don’t miss what is sure to be a lively and joyful night – New Orleans style – where we’ve cleared the side room so you can “laissez les bons temps rouler!” 

“If you hire them I highly recommend you advise your attendees to bring their dancing shoes!”  ~Happy Venue
