We’re going to bring this Sibley Zydeco Festival in with a bang, because we are bringing some of music biggest super stars oldschool, newschool, blues, zydeco, Southern soul and R&B, so it’s going to be on and poppin’.

Headlining this year’s concert will be the legendary R&B group Lakeside, who will take you on a fantastic voyage.

Cupid asked me if the Miss-Lou could break the biggest line dance record?
