Fête du Void is the brainchild of two members of the Iceman Special band, guitarist Hunter Romero and bass player Charlie Murray.
“Fête du Void represents a new generation of Louisiana culture,” said Romero. “It holds on to the unique values that the music and culture in the South has given people since the early 1950s. It’s not ya mamma’s zydeco, but it definitely will move and shake you sin some type of way. This diverse lineup full of different genres represents what inspires The Iceman Special. This is where our music stylings come from.”
The community-oriented event will take place on the grounds of the historic Hardwood Mill (1194 W. Santa Fe Road in Oakdale), 185 miles northwest of New Orleans. Food and art vendors will also have booths at the location. For the sake of safety during the pandemic, the festival has a limited capacity of tickets available for sale.
