Terrance Simien:
This “Zydeco Master”
and native Creole of Louisiana is
already a legend in his genre after
nearly two decades
as a professional touring and recording artist. He
has
consistently diversified and shaped his beloved zydeco
music into a
sound uniquely his. A true visionary, his
audience expects him to push
the creative envelope.
Whether he is creating new zydeco standards or
re-
creating a cover to sound refreshingly new he does it all
with
unconventional arrangements and instrumentation.
He delivers this
eclectic fusion of sound with astonishing
vocals that are often compared
to Sam Cooke,
Aaron Neville or Al Green.“Simien has the fluid expressive
pipes of a great R&B singer.” He has toured with roots
greats Los Lobos
and pop sensation Robert Palmer. He
has performed and recorded with Paul
Simon. He recently,
(2001) toured with the Dave Matthews Band; a real
testament to the level of artistry Simien has achieved in his
20 year
artistic evolution. Dave introduced him each night
urging his audience
“to take notice” of his friends from
Louisiana and then later joined
Terrance for a duet during
his set.
