Saturday will see the Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley band, The Cash Box Kings, Alligator recording sensation Selwyn Birchwood and a revue celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier that will feature Clifton's son, C.J. fronting his father's band with guests Marcia Ball and Sonny Landreth!
