Hi Everyone,
Just checking in from the ark. Hope you are all surviving all the rain.
There are several things to note and maybe even attend this month:
1. Check out Westchester Magazine's Best Of Westchester this month. Somebody
Scream NY was chosen as the best "Louisiana Style Music and Experience"!!!!
2. There are several c/z events around the area that I hope you will enjoy:
Sunday, July 5th -- ZydeGroove in Nyack--
ZydeGroove will be back at the Old Fashion Restaurant & Pub (in Nyack) on
Sunday, July 5th, 4-7pm. There will be plenty of hot Louisiana Dance Music (aka
Zydeco) to keep you hopping. If you play zydeco music bring your scrubboard,
fiddle, etc. FREE admission
As per usual, there is no cover charge. Food at the Old Fashion is great so we
encourage you to come hungry. As they say in Louisiana, we'll pass a good time.
