Join us for our summer celebration of music, art, food, and drink at Camp Meade! We are excited to welcome to the stage Ernest James Zydeco. With the unlikeliest of instruments—the accordion—Ernest James and his band Ernest James Zydeco travel on a soulful musical journey, from the most traditional Louisiana Zydeco to irreverent foot-stomping dance parties. Come jump around!

But wait - there’s more: Ernest James is a professional accordionist and bandleader who has spent over 15 years blending traditional Louisiana zydeco with blues, roots, and country influences. Known for his high-energy performances, he has toured globally, hosted a zydeco radio show, and earned Grammy consideration for his acclaimed original music. We are so lucky to have them right here in Vermont!
