Since beginning in 1995, Lisa Haley & the Zydekats are today the world’s most beloved Americana/Cajun/Zydeco band. Produced by GRAMMY-winner Wendy Waldman, Lisa brings down the walls of Cajun/Zydeco convention with her Spirit-filled, healing combination of finesse and bombardment,

“Joyful, exotic …a Pop approach to Louisiana Zydeco...
a la the bluesy moans of Janis Joplin”

“The most joyful Americana/Cajun/Zydeco act on tour today!”
- Keb’Mo', multi-Grammy winner, co-producer of Lisa’s “Talking to the Sun” album on Ryko/Warner
