March Dance features Wayne and Same Ol’ 2 Step

While some of the younger Zydeco musicians are pushing zydeco to the progressive left, Wayne & Same Ol’ 2 Step, keep their music firmly grounded in the Opelousas-Lawtell tradition of Zydeco. Mentored by the legendary Roy Carrier, Wayne Singleton, founder of the band, at the age of 36 has toured and played throughout the United States and in Europe, playing such venues as Blast from the Bayou at Strawberry Park, Oshkosh Sawdust Days Jazz and Zydeco Festival, Gator by the Bay, Daphne Zydeco Festival and the Cajun & Zydeco Festival in Raamsdonksveer, Holland.

Zydeco musicians make a lot of money, so I’m going to start a band and make me a lot of money playing Zydeco. They don’t stop and think that this is the music my grandfather played or listened to, or that this is a part of my heritage that I want my children to know. If I make a lot of money at this I’m happy, if I don’t make a lot of money, well, I’m still happy” – quote from Wayne Singleton, in the upcoming documentary Zydeco Breakfast film……..the statement of a true musician who wants to preserve the music of his heritage.
