Making up for a bit of a drought in zydeco music offerings from Louisiana in the Twin Cities of late, the long-reigning heir to the king of zydeco, Clifton Chenier, returns for a two-night stand. CJ got his start playing with his dad at age 21, and he eventually took over as bandleader for Clifton’s well-traveled band upon his death in 1987. He’s made his own mark since then, blending blues and soul into the “happy feet” music tradition he so proudly carries. (STAR TRIBUNE)
