Simien brings blues to the Fair

NORWICH – Dance lovers should have their fill of some spoon scraping and accordion pushing zydeco beats at tomorrow’s Chenango County Fair concert featuring 2008 Grammy winner Terrence Simien and his Zydeco Experience Band.

The music starts up at about 7 p.m. or after the fireman’s parade on Tuesday under the performance tent in front of the exhibition hall.

Rolling Stone magazine describes him as “Master of nouveau zydeco: Anchored in tradition, but peppered with contemporary influences.”
