Zydeco in California is a one-hour, character-driven radio documentary on the zydeco community of northern California. The project explores issues surrounding the assertion and maintenance of ethnic identity through the re-creation of the musical culture of one’s original home. Zydeco artists such as Queen Ida, Ray Stevens and André Thierry will be interviewed.

Coming Soon!  Check back with Creative PR for updates.

Prime Time Radio presents an irresistible look at the music and musicians of the drink houses and juke joints of the rural South.

Host Barry Yeoman takes us into the lives of colorful artists named Captain Luke, Guitar Gabriel, Boo Hanks, Eddie Tigner, and Little Freddie King…working men in their 60s, 70s and 80s, who have written, sung and played songs about their world all their lives.

Folklorist/guitarist Tim Duffy met these little known bluesmen, many of whom lived in desperate poverty.  He formed the Music Maker Relief Foundation and through a record label and concerts, he presents them more widely, even taking them overseas, where they caused a sensation.  The foundation now provides them with some of the necessities that most Americans take for granted.

This unforgettable hour of tales and tunes is not only perfect for Black History Month but a program your listeners will want to hear any time of year!
