Unique
Halloween celebration at Montage Café
Darke County Center for the Arts will host “A Taste of Wine and Zydeco”
at Montage Cafe in downtown Greenville on Halloween, Friday, October
31. This fund-raising party will feature the music of zydeco legend
Terrance Simien and his band “The Zydeco Experience.” Montage
proprietors Aaron and Michele Cox have planned a “spooky” menu of hors
d'oeuvres to accompany the two wines and two beers that will be
featured during the event. “It's always a party when Terrance Simien
performs, and Montage is known for it's delicious food, friendly
atmosphere, and exciting vibe, so 'A Taste of Wine and Zydeco' will be
an incredibly special, memorable event,” said Andrea Jordan, DCCA
Executive Director.
The indigenous music of Southern Louisiana Creoles, zydeco music fuses
elements from many cultures to create a New Orleans-based roots genre
that is currently enjoying an exciting period of growth and popularity.
According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Terrance Simien is
at the forefront of the movement, as indicated by his presence at the
prestigious New Orleans Jazz Festival for 28 consecutive years. Cox
Insurance and James and Julia Poeppleman are sponsoring this
performance by Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience.
Tickets to “A Taste of Wine and Zydeco” are $35 each, and are available
at Montage and at DCCA's office inside Greenville Public Library as
well as on-line at www.centerforarts.net. The party starts at 6:30 p.m.
