On Sunday, 17 February 2002, Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie will be guest artists on West Virginia Public Radio's Mountain Stage live performance radio broadcast. Immediately following their Mountain Stage appearance, Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie will be featured in a 2-hour Zydeco dance party hosted by FOOTMAD.

Prior to the dance, you will be able to brush up on your Zydeco Dance moves at a Zydeco Dance workshop. Dance and workshop are both available for the one low price of admission. Such a deal!

Living Blues magazine praised La Chanson Perdue , the latest of Geno Delafose's three Rounder Records CDs, as "...one of the most remarkable releases in the new era of zydeco." Hailing from the small town of Eunice, deep in Southwest Louisiana's bayou country, Geno cut his musical teeth at the age of seven in his father's legendary John Delafose & the Eunice Playboys ensemble. Now 29, he and his house-rocking band, French Rockin' Boogie, have tapped the wealth of inspiration found in the traditional Cajun and Creole repertoires and created their own rich gumbo of Cajun, zydeco, r&b, country and blues. By taking his explosive live show to nearly 200 arts centers, festivals and nightclubs each year, Geno Delafose has undeniably earned his place as "...the young hope of traditional zydeco."
