The Last Honky Tonk Music Series brings national acts to small communities across the country, creating a camaraderie between artists and music lovers.
The series is a volunteer network comprised of artists, venue owners, radio programmers, sponsors, music industry professionals and music lovers now headquartered in Morgan City, LA thanks to a partnership with D.a.T SaUcE.
“Morgan City, LA is now our ‘Honky Tonk Hometown,’ as it has become our National Headquarters for LHTMS,” Chief Administrator Brigitte London said.
“Our office is located in Morgan City in the building of our national sponsor, D.a.T. SaUcE. on Hwy. 182 E. We are excited about all of the musicians we bring to the area on a weekly basis, in addition to the wonderful local talent that currently exists. We intend on creating a music destination in this beautiful bayou country with events, festivals and visitors to our headquarters location,” she added.
The Last Honky Tonk Music Series is a historic Roots Music Series featuring national artists performing in official venues on a weekly, monthly or seasonal basis, depending on the venue. From small honky tonks to large outdoor arenas, shows vary in size and structure with solo acoustic performances and full band shows featuring artists in the roots country, southern rock, blues, folk, Americana, outlaw country and bluegrass genres who are committed to bringing authentic and powerful show performances to audiences of all sizes, cultures and creeds.
The Last Honky Tonk Music Series officially launched on March 23, 2014 at Bobby Mackey’s Music World in Wilder, KY. Since then, hundreds of shows have taken place across the United States.
In Morgan City, shows are brought weekly to Acadiana Bar and Grill. To check the schedule, updated every week, visit the Cajun Coast Live Music page.
