BANNERS THE McNEESE CULTURAL SERIES

BANNERS presents  Cajun music icon ZACHARY RICHARD Saturday March 6 7:30 PM in F. G. Bulber Auditorium on the McNeese Campus. Militant environmentalist and cultural activist, poet and singer-songwriter Zachary Richard has his roots deeply planted in his native Louisiana – although he’s been gone a good bit, too. From 1976-1981, he lived in Montreal and recorded seven French language albums. He came home in the 1980s and started touring and recording. But in 1994 he returned to Canada and began a new collection of French songs. The result was the double platinum Cap Enrage’. Now he’s back in Louisiana and he wrote the songs on his latest album, Last Kiss, in English. It’s nice to have him home.  TICKETS $30 rows 24-30 orchestra level, $20 balcony, $15 students, free to McNeese students with ID.
