FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:
TERRANCE SIMIEN & The Zydeco Experience!
$25 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available
Two-time Grammy Award–winning, genre-blending, Terrance Simien brings more than
40 years of powerful, high-energy performances rooted in Black American zydeco
music traditions. A seventh-generation multicultural Louisiana Creole, Simien fuses
infectious rhythms, soulful vocals, and deep cultural storytelling into shows that move
audiences across generations and borders.
Leading a dynamic intergenerational band of veteran masters and rising Gen Z
musicians, Simien delivers a live experience that honors tradition while pushing the
music forward—making every performance both a celebration and a cultural statement.
Simien has music placed in TV shows and product advertisements as well as multiple
theatrically released films including a classic animated Disney film, The Princess &
The Frog that introduced millions, many for the first time, to zydeco music. Simien also
has music on the new Disney ride based on the film “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” that
opened at both US theme parks in 2024.
He’s shared studio, stage and tours with Los Lobos, Art Neville, the meters, Robert
Palmer, Dave Matthews Band, Dr. John, Marcia Ball, David Hidalgo, Randy Newman
and Stevie Wonder even joined him on stage once to play harmonica.
40+ years, 45 countries and over 8,500 performances and a student, youth and family
program, Creole for Kidz and the History of Zydeco has reached 250,000 K-12
students, helping raise their cultural IQ while having fun!
The Zydeco Experience Band: Danny Williams, keyboards, vocals; Stan Chambers,
bass guitar, vocals; Ian Molinaro-Thompson, drums (when Ian can’t Sam Colgate can,
