Best Big Easy Contact

Listen, cher, do you love the Big Easy style? Does the sound of Cajun music make you want to kick up your heels? Promoter Dana DeSimone offers phone and online listings of the Bay Area's major zydeco and Cajun live music, dances, dance lessons, radio programs, online broadcasts, and related happenings. Indeed, he also books the bands at Alameda's Eagle Hall, where 150 to 200 people typically gather to dance every Friday night away. Lessons start at 8 p.m. and are included in the cover charge, which runs between $10 and $13. Music kicks off at 9 p.m. An added plus: Since the bar is upstairs, you can bring the kids. Big Easy club and calendar listings can also be found on www.slip.net/~arubinst/bay_area_clubs.htm and www.geocities.com/sfcajun.
