Living legend Buckwheat Zydeco returns to The Barns at Wolf Trap to deliver another night chock-full of Cajun dance music from the bayou. A recording and performing artist for over 30 years, Zydeco enjoyed a banner year in 2009, earning his first GRAMMY Award for Best Cajun and Zydeco album with Lay Your Burden Down. Featuring live performances termed as "incendiary" by The New York Times, Zydeco has performed and recorded with artists such as Eric Clapton and U2. He has also performed at the closing ceremony for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and at both of President Clinton's inaugurations.

My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy
With Steve Solomon
Friday, February 4 at 8 p.m.
Saturday, February 5 at 7:30 p.m.
$30
My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy-one of the longest running one man shows in history-makes its Wolf Trap premiere at the Barns. Master dialectician Steve Solomon single-handedly tells the hilarious story of a man whose family has driven him from the dinner table straight into the therapist's chair. Using impersonation skills honed from growing up in the multiethnic Sheepshead neighborhood in Brooklyn, Solomon creates a cast of crazy characters that every audience member will recognize from their own family gatherings. Dubbed "Alan King, Billy Crystal, a smidgen of Don Rickles, and George Carlin all thrown in" by Variety, Solomon is poised to make his mark on The Barns with his creative, original gem.
