Virginia Tech's School of Performing Arts and the Town of Blacksburg continue the Friday Night Outdoor Concert series with The Dixie Power Trio on Friday, July 9, 2021 on Henderson Lawn on the campus of Virginia Tech and across from The Lyric in downtown Blacksburg, VA.
The Dixie Power Trio is a four-piece group dedicated to the music and sounds of Louisiana. Formed in 1992, the band (led by tuba/bassist Andy Kochenour and cornet/accordionist Zack Smith) has spent the last decade performing for audiences in clubs, concerts, and schools. The group is based in Fredericksburg, Virginia and has toured extensively throughout the United States in support of their eight independently produced recordings.
In a typical set the DPT will play a gumbo of different styles including zydeco, Cajun, New Orleans jazz, funk, street parade, and rock. The songs are a mix of Louisiana-flavored originals and covers—all with a unique, happy-go-lucky attitude. The band’s music has been featured on NPR’s “All Thing’s Considered” and on several WB television shows. Over the past few years the DPT has shared the concert stage with many Louisiana music luminaries including Wynton Marsalis, the Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Terrence Simien, Chubby Carrier, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Olympia Brass Band, and Beausoleil.
