MANASSAS, Va. — The Dixie Power Trio is a four-piece group dedicated to the music and sounds of Louisiana. Based in Fredericksburg VA, the group has toured extensively throughout the United States in support of their seven independently produced recordings.
In a typical set the Dixie Power Trio will play a gumbo of different styles including zydeco, Cajun, New Orleans jazz, funk, street parade, and rock. The songs are a mix of Louisiana-flavored originals and covers—all with a unique, happy-go-lucky attitude. The band’s music has been featured on NPR’s “All Thing’s Considered” and on several WB television shows. Over the past few years the Dixie Power Trio has shared the concert stage with many Louisiana music luminaries including Wynton Marsalis, the Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Terrence Simien, Chubby Carrier, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Olympia Brass Band, and Beausoleil.
Presented by the Center for the Arts; a gift from Micron Technology Foundation and the City of Manassas. At the Loy E. Harris Pavilion in Downtown Historic Manassas on Saturday, August 16 at 6:30p.m. Free. Rain or Shine.
