On Dec. 1, 2019, friends, family and the community will come together at the Acadiana Center for the Arts to raise much needed funds in support of legendary Louisiana musician, Lee Allen Zeno.
Lee Allen Zeno has selflessly dedicated his entire life to playing music and sharing our culture with the world. Lee Allen Zeno is one of our greatest treasures in all of Acadiana, and he is fighting cancer for the third time in six months! In Acadiana, we take care of our own. By helping out, we will provide the necessary support as he undergoes stem-cell therapy at Tulane in New Orleans.
All funds raised will go to Lee Allen to help pay past due bills, current bills, medical bills and additional transportation expenses, along with living and personal care services.
Zeno Fest will be held in the Moncus Theatre inside The Acadiana Center for the Arts located at 101 W. Vermillion St., from 12 pm to 5 pm. Local musicians such as: Major Handy; Warren Storm; Roddie Romero; Beau Thomas; Buckwheat Zydeco, Jr; Wayne Toups; Ray Boudreaux; Larry Garner; Grant Dermody; Lane Mack; Eric Adcock; and Myles and Brennan of “The Good Dudes,” will come together to host the “Ultimate Acadiana Jam Session”. The afternoon will also feature a Q&A with Lee Allen Zeno and host, Gerald Gruenig. Admission is $10 and food will be sold for $5 by award-winning catering crews.
Cash and check donations will be collected at the door on the day of the event. Visit www.loveofpeople.org to donate online.
