It’s a concert of swampy songs about Louisiana animals.
Johnette Downing’s irresistible Cajun, Creole, zydeco, blues, and jazz-influenced rhythms have children toe-tapping and handclapping to playful songs about ‘gators, ‘skeeters, ‘possums, and mudbugs. The song from her beloved book Down in Louisiana is featured.
Called the Musical Ambassador to Children and the Pied Piper of Louisiana Music Traditions, Johnette is a multi-award-winning singer, musician, composer, author, and poet from New Orleans. Her books and CDs will be available for purchase and signing.
