Buffalo Nichols at the ACA

An evening with Carl “Buffalo” Nichols at the Acadiana Center for the Arts may surprise you. Nichols’ second album, The Fatalist, pushes the boundaries of what the blues can be, urging listeners to embrace the present by introducing electronic music to an old tradition, among other stylistic choices. By intimately linking his music to the modern day, Nichols reminds his audience the original force behind the blues is as immediate and pressing today as ever. 7:30 pm. $35.
