Cajun Music & Dance Party set for March 11

Roux du Bayou booked for bodacious benefit

Roux du Bayou

Legacy Housing Foundation’s signature fundraising event and Cajun-themed dance party, Fais Do-Do, will be held Friday, March 11. Once again, The Standard at 416 W. Jackson will be transformed into a Cajun dance hall with sizzling two-stepping tunes and authentic south Louisiana sound.

Roux du Bayou, one of the hottest Cajun bands around, will present its own brand of Louisiana sound playing a wide variety of zydeco, swamp pop, Mardi Gras tunes and rock roll. Led by Paul Gregoire, Roux du Bayou is known for getting folks bopping and the dance floor hopping.

Billed as a bodacious benefit, Fais Do-Do proves you don’t have to be born in the bayou to appreciate great Cajun music and dance. Tickets to Fais Do-Do are $35 and available online at Eventbrite.com. Doors open at 7 p.m. and show start is 7:30 p.m. Beer and wine will be sold.

Legacy Housing Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that serves subsidized housing communities throughout East Tennessee by providing programs and goods for individuals and families with limited income. All proceeds from Fais Do-Do will go toward the Foundation.

Fais Do-Do sponsors include LHP Capital, Walker & Dunlop, DIA, Gentry Tipton McLemore, Lincoln Avenue Capital, ERI, Simmons Property Group, Pinnacle Financial Partners, McCarty Holsaple McCarty, Blaine Construction, Southeast Bank, McDonald Levy & Taylor, Christopoulos & Kennedy, and Stones River Group.
