• ASC Season Opening Celebration featuring BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet
  09/26/08

  Every year this event gets bigger and better! Come dance the night away with us as we celebrate all things Cajun!  Held in the grand space of the ASC Lobbies, this fun event blows the lid off any ideas you might have that the performing arts are refined. With music and dancing in the lobby, complimentary Cajun hors d'oeuvres, drink specials, a chance to win season kickoff prizes, and Birmingham's most fun people, this event is sure to be the best yet.
  
  BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet takes the rich Cajun traditions of Louisiana and artfully blends elements of zydeco, New Orleans jazz, Tex-Mex, country, blues and more into a satisfying musical recipe. From The Grand Ole Opry to Newport Folk, from concert hall to dance floor, the music of BeauSoleil continues to captivate audiences the world over.

  

  
  
  
  6 p.m., Come early as the ASC Social Club offers free Cajun dance lessons led by ACME (Association of Cajun Music Enthusiasts).
