Music scene · Opelousas

Opelousas, a Cajun country city, has music rooted in zydeco and country traditions, church choirs, and local bar dance nights. Lafayette musicians often drive north for Cajun and Creole gigs.

Music happens at church fellowship halls, local bars and dance halls, community centers, and seasonal festival grounds. The high school auditorium hosts school and community concerts.

Local and regional artists perform in this Cajun country city, with musicians from the nearby Lafayette scene occasionally passing through.

Musicians should learn the regional dance hall style, join church and school groups, and connect with Lafayette players for more frequent Cajun and zydeco bookings.
