Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas at Antone’s
Blessed with a 65th Grammy Awards nomination for his most recent recording Lucky Man, Nathan and his top-shelf band have more than a 35+ year history as Acadiana’s top R&B, blues, and zydeco ensemble. Whether he is performing at the likes of NYC’s Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall’s CityWide Concert Series, DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, Europe’s top blues festivals or down home at his brother’s famous El Sido’s Zydeco & Blues Club in Lafayette, Louisiana, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas never fail to get the audience up and shakin’ a leg to their un-rivaled stomp-down zydeco party!
“If you don’t get up and shake a leg, you better call an undertaker - because you’re dead.”
- Nathan Williams quoted in Living Blues April 2019
“Nathan Williams never disappoints. On record and in person, you can always depend on Williams’ rockin’ zydeco to lift your spirits and move your feet… the BEST zydeco in the business.”
