Event Details

Zydeco Grooves with Grammy-Nominated Andre Thierry At Franklin Park

Grab your chairs and blankets, pack a picnic lunch and head outdoors to celebrate the diverse cultural traditions of our community with live music and dance from around the globe at Rhythmix in the Parks!

Playing with a force few can match, Grammy-nominated artist, Andre Thierry is “breaking accordion stereotypes”, merging traditional Créole and Zydeco music with contemporary influences of Blues, Funk, R&B, Jazz, and Rock.

Kick off the afternoon in style with Michele’s Soul Line Dance. With her high energy vibes and easy to follow choreography, Michele will have you sliding, stepping and swaying to soulful beats.

Get ready to dance and play along in this exuberant fun-filled family performance!

Andre Thierry Accordion Soul Music is presented in partnership with the City of Alameda as part of the Rhythmix in the Parks free family concert and festival series, bringing people of all ages together to experience and explore music, dance, visual art and educational opportunities all summer long in Alameda’s City Parks.
