Description

No Depression wrote that “Steve Conn may be the best singer you’ve never heard.” But for those who have paid attention to his career for the past half century, Steve has been the benchmark for honest and soulful music. His lifelong search continues — poignant, humorous, and even heartbreaking at times — and we all get to listen to the unique rhythm he hears as he bares his truth for all to witness and invites us to join him in singing his song.

As a literature student at LSU, Steve met Michael Doucet, a young fiddle player from Lafayette, who introduced him to the music and culture of Acadiana. After college, Steve moved to Colorado, where he met Sonny Landreth, another Lafayette musician, whose lifelong friendship and artistry continue to influence him profoundly.

Acadiana Center for the Arts

Our mission is fostering art and culture in Acadiana.

Founded in 1975, Acadiana Center for the Arts (“AcA”) is a community-supported nonprofit organization that fosters art and culture in Acadiana. Since its founding, AcA has developed as a major force, shaping the future of public education and community development in South Louisiana.

AcA supports the creation of new works of art, exhibits, festivals, performances, and public art across an eight-parish region that includes Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion Parishes.

AcA aims to bring equitable access to the arts and supports fair compensation of artists. On average, AcA serves over 300,000 people annually and provides fair compensation to 2,700 artists.

In 2013, the AcA merged with the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana (“PASA”), whose mission was to educate, inspire, entertain, and culturally enrich the people of south Louisiana by providing local access to a diverse range of the performing arts. This merger supported the vision of both organizations and provided much-needed support to PASA’s programs. Founded in 1989, PASA served as a leading voice in the performing arts in South Louisiana for close to three decades.
