 | | | Advanced technology is now automatically posting events to this web site.
You may have noticed many additional events posted to this website. We recently added a robot that scans a band's web site schedule, compares their events to information in our database, updates our database, then re-scans their web site in a few days.
We have successfully posted events for: Andre Thierry, Balfa Toujours, Beausoliel, Bluerunners, Corey Ledet, Geno Delafose, JJ Callier, Keith Frank, Leon Chavis, Leroy Thomas, Lost Bayou Ramblers, Pine Leaf Boys, Red Stick Ramblers, Rosie Ledet, Savoy Doucet, Steve Riley, and Vermilionville. While we are pleased with the robot's accuracy, some web sites and some events are not resolvable or contain insufficient information, preventing these events from automatically being added to our schedule.
For those of you posting events onto our site, thank you for your efforts and please continue your posting efforts, especially if you use Arnb.Org to generate your event schedule.
We continue with our goal of providing you with the best Cajun and Zydeco music and dance schedules.

I pull from my personal collection and usually have a "Story Time" for more cultural information behind the music, musicians and history of SW Louisiana. The show enables listeners to learn more about LA and it's music, etc. Musicians appreciate the exposure. I also promote bands stopping in the Richmond, VA area. | | |
