Bayou Brothers at Liberty Hall Theatre Nov. 20

What can concertgoers expect when arriving at the Liberty Hall Theatre at Paradise Village on Nov. 20, for the first performance of the blues series, featuring The Bayou Brothers?

"Cajun zydeco! Foot-stompin', hand-clapping, rockin' fun!" says Jeffery Smith, the Managing Artistic Director for Liberty Hall.

The Bayou Brothers perform their brand of Louisiana blues/Cajun/zydeco music at blues festivals all over California, the United States, and abroad.

According to their website, they've got "...a sound straight out of Louisiana's dance clubs, bayou festivals and backyard crawfish boils. They start with a blend of accordion, keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and rubboard, add three part harmonies...and that great Mardi Gras sound."

The band started in 1995 by founders, John "Squeezebox" Chambers on accordion, naturally, and drummer Ric Lee. Guitarist "Lake" Charles Burton has won the 2009 International Blues Challenge, and the bottom end, on electric and double bass, is held down by Roger Daschle. Saxophonist Thomas Podgoretsky and "rubboard" artist Judy Seid complete the lineup.

The Liberty Hall Theatre has been putting on a slew of concerts since they began a little more than three months ago. Five jazz events, one classical and, now one blues.

Smith, who is responsible for the series, is a serious musician in his own right. As a vocalist, he has recorded several albums for the internationally acclaimed Verve label. He came to San Diego from New York two years ago after a debilitating illness on doctor's orders.

He was doing a speaking engagement at Paradise Village (where Liberty Hall is located), when he discovered the brand new theater, which wasn't being used much. Soon, "the wheels in my head started cranking up and visions began formulating," said Smith.

He submitted a proposal to the Executive Director of Paradise Village, and the concert series was born!

The theater seats about 200, is plush, comfortable and the sound is excellent. The concert begins at 7 p.m., and cost $20. $15 for active military /students $ 5 for Paradise Village residents.

Liberty Hall Theatre is located at 2700 East 4th Street in National City, on the second floor.
