There's a lot going on this weekend in ! Accordion master Step Rideau & the Zydeco Outlaws will be performing at the Palmetto Disaster Relief Benefit along with other zydeco musicians that you can check out below. Also happening is the Academy of the Sacred Heart's Congé, a celebration of spring with live music, food, games, and more. You might also want to head to Cafe Josephine in Sunset if you can to hear Jeremy Benoit on the saxophone. You should call ahead for a reservation, however, as they have limited seating! Check out these live music events and more below.

Edit: the Congé has moved to Sunday, April 25!
