New musical genre of the week: z-funk

It’s a question that Lil’ Brian and the Zydeco Travelers must get all the time: What is this so-called z-funk? The answer is simple. It’s a mixture of zydeco and funk, washboard percussion and sultry bass lines, the only way to describe Lil’ Brian’s music. Catch him at Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s at 9 p.m. Friday night.
