Join Z1059 and me, Stephanie celebrating Homecoming this week at Mojo’s. Coming home to Louisiana to party for the first time for Friday Night Live at Evangeline Downs: Step Rideau and the Zydeco Outlaws. I am so excited. I love good Zydeco Music and you will get some of that this week with Step Rideau. His homeboy Ronald Andrus Dj Lil Jack will also be there mixing the hot tracks, throwbacks, and swing out tracks to make you dance.
I will be dancing the night away with Step. I first saw him perform around Mardi Gras in his hometown of Lebeau at the Immaculate Conception Church Hall. This is a annual fundraiser for the church, and Step and the Zydeco Outlaws perform every year. I had a good time.
With 8 CD’s to his credit, international zydeco star Step Rideau has been rolling on the zydeco scene for over 20 years Stephen Joseph Rideau “Step” was born in Lebeau, Louisiana in St Landry Parish. Creole culture and zydeco music is part of his DNA. He relocated to Houston in the mid-1980’s and that is when he began to play the accordion. Step eventually formed his own band, The Zydeco Outlaws.
Some of his musical influences are Boozoo Chavis, Rockin Sydney,John Delafose, Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat, James Brown, Bobby Womack, Bobby Bland, Joe Simon,Tyrone Davis, and Howin Wolf . He brings alot of energy to his performance.
