Meet the Headliners

Jean-Pierre & The Zydeco Angels

With roots dating back to 1985 in Houston, Texas, Jean-Pierre quickly became a Zydeco sensation. Having learned from legends like Clifton Chenier, Jean-Pierre's music journey took him from Houston to Lafayette, Louisiana, and eventually to Austin, Texas. His unique blend of traditional Zydeco captures the essence of the genre's golden era, making him a must-see performer at the Farm Street Opry.

Sister Sue (Kathy Danielson)

Kathy Danielson, along with her sister Janet Havel, brings a rich musical history to the stage. Performing since the age of 13, Kathy has shared the stage with country legends and formed the duo "Sister Sue" after moving to Texas. Their smooth country ballads and engaging performances promise to captivate the audience at the Farm Street Opry.
