LZ's first two albums, "Yeah, you right, eh!" (released independently in the fall of 2003,) and "This Great White North, Eh!" (released by
flamingcheese records in the fall of 2006,) have enjoyed commercial, community and college radio play across North America. Our third album, "Time To Turn The Key," was completed in July of 2008 and was released by
flamingcheese records in October. Please visit our Music page for samples from all three albums.


July 12th, 2002, marked LZ’s debut at The Toronto International BBQ & Blues Fest. Since then, LZ has energized audiences and made new fans across Ontario and into Quebec and New Brunswick at festivals in Edmundston, Wakefield, Sault Ste. Marie, Kitchener, Niagara Falls, Port Burwell, Belleville, Orillia, Oshawa, Oakville, Aurora, Port Credit, Burlington, Waterloo, Tecumseth, Sparta and Toronto, (The Toronto Jazz Fest, The Distillery Jazz Fest, Celebrate Toronto, WinterFest & Lakeshore Mardi Gras.)  Electrifying performances have solidified LZ’s reputation as one of Canada’s most entertaining Zydeco bands with shows often becoming a free for all of audience participation. Extra rubboards are always available for anyone adventurous enough to join the band on stage and upon request, workshops are offered on Zydeco dance or the history of Zydeco.


LZ also performs at private, corporate, specialty, sporting and Mardi Gras-themed events, as well as clubs and bars. Our set list includes original Zydeco, covers of well-known traditional and contemporary Zydeco and our own Zydeco interpretations of

popular songs. Info on how to listen to, or purchase all three albums
