Rusty Metoyer has become one of the hottest zydeco bands in not only Southwest Louisiana, but the entire Deep South. The band is led by Rusty Metoyer, a self-taught musician from Lake Charles. Music runs in his family—his uncles and grandfathers all played Creole French, Zydeco, Jazz, and Blues. Rusty picked up the accordion by ear in the traditional French style, and he’s proud to keep his Creole roots alive.

Rusty Metoyer and Zydeco Krush will be in concert at Cowboys Lake Charles following the Southwest District Livestock Show & Rodeo. It is for the Rodeo Afterparty on Friday Night - Doors will open at 9:00 with the show running from 10-1.
