Zydeco Music Awards

Lafayette, La. January 12, 2012 – The 2nd Annual Zydeco Music Awards, hosted by Eyewitness News Anchor Darla Montgomery, will be held on Thursday, January 12, 2012 at the Heymann Performing Arts Center in Lafayette, Louisiana. The much-anticipated ZMAs will begin with the Red Carpet at 7:00 P.M. and the Awards Show beginning at 8:00 P.M.

Celebrating a tradition of honoring and showcasing some of the biggest stars in zydeco music, the ZMAs is poised for a night of never-before-seen moments. This year’s ZMAs is giving a Life Time Achievement Award to “Nathan Williams Sr.”, whose timeless music has inspired an endless number of old and new zydeco artists alike. The ZMAs will have performances by Lil Nathan, J Paul Jr., Leon Chavis and more, who will light the stage for a night of excitement.

“We are thrilled that Darla Montgomery is going to host the ZMAs,” commented Cedric Jackson, one of the awards show coordinators. “Her personality perfectly matches the dynamism of our show and will set the tone for a night to remember in zydeco. So get ready for a night of celebration and entertainment.”

The ZMAs will recognize the achievements of artists in 15 categories. Front-runner J Paul Jr. gets 9 individual nominations across multiple categories. Closely behind are Lil Nathan and Chris Ardoin with 8 and 6 nominations, respectively. New artists such as Lil Jabb, Samone and Ruben Mareno each secure a nomination for Best New Artist.

The 2012 ZMAs Red Carpet is sponsored by I’m Covered Low Cost Insurance, all part of making the 2nd Annual Zydeco Music Awards the most memorable celebration in music. With top name nominations, attendance and one-of-a-kind performances, the ZMAs will establish itself as the hottest ticket in Zydeco.
