Lovin’ The Zydeco

Zydeco fans -- and we know who you are – will be in for a treat Tuesday night (August 9, 2016) when the Easy Street duo plays at the Boathouse Theatre.

The concert is part of the Schroon Lake Art’s Council’s sensational summer.

Easy Street is comprised of Mark Trichka and Lisa Brande, who share their time between Putney, Vermont, Nokomis, Florida and Cecilia, Louisiana.

They are full time musicians, having performed for more than two decades, playing swing, bluegrass, Cajun and zydeco, rockabilly and honkytonk and all manner of popular, sometimes obscure, but always interesting music, on fiddles, mandolins, guitars and voices. They also perform under the name the Maple Sugar Serenaders for retirees in Florida and Vermont, and are members of other groups as well.  Tuesday’s show will feature the band in its Easy Street Bayou-Cajun-Zydeco four piece formation.
