Zachary Richard & Friends

Zachary RichardCajun singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, activist and our Season 10 program guide essayist Zachary Richard has covered quite a bit of turf over the years. From country rock to atmospheric pop, his work as a songwriter and musician has been marked by its personal and political passion, and as much by its sense of exploration as its advocacy for cultural and environmental preservation and perpetuation.

During a career marked by unparalleled popularity in Canada, France, the U.S. and Louisiana, Richard has remained true to his roots, seeking out new ways to make a better life from the things he has found, discovered and invented.

Through his dedicated promotion of our native French language and urgent environmental causes, he has continued to raise important issues - and push for thoughtful solutions - in the Cajun and Acadian homelands.

"Last Kiss" is his first primarily English-language release in 17 years. We hope you can join us for these sure-to-be-unique evenings inside his expansive and singular bilingual songbook in the company of his gifted and accomplished musical friends.

Selected releases:

"Last Kiss," Artist Garage, 2009

"Silver Jubilee: The Best of Zachary Richard 1973-1998," Rhino, 2000

"Cap Enragé," Aris, 1996 reissued 1997
