Traditional New Orleans Evening of Food and Music Coming to Payson

Jazz is on the menu April 21, with Tina Trevino and fellow local musicians at Payson Main Street's Boudreaux's Bistro.

There is nothing more traditional to New Orleans than jazz and a crawfish boil, and on Saturday, April 21, you can find the tastes and sounds of the Big Easy on Main Street, right here in Payson at Boudreaux’s Bistro.

It is crawfish season in Louisiana.  With crawfish boils and backyard parties a time-honored tradition, local restaurant owner and New Orleans native, Chris Sorenson brings the flavors of the season to Utah County.  A traditional crawfish boil blends the delicate flavors of crawfish with potatoes, corn, sausage, mushrooms and Cajun spices, and is served in an open air, festive, family setting at Boudreaux’s Bistro on Main Street in Payson.

Jazz is on the menu as well, as local bass player Tina Trevino brings a combo of young, local musicians together for the evening.  Tina is a graduate of Salem Hills High School and is majoring in Music Education at the Horne School of Music.  Passionate about all types of music, she fell in love with jazz and New Orleans when she first visited the Big Easy at the age of twelve.

Tina describes jazz as a conversation with a good friend.  It can be mellow and laid back, or animated and full of heat, but either way it is honest.  She says the best thing about playing at the Crawfish Boil is pairing good music with old friends and great food.  Tina and Friends will perform at 6:30 PM.

There is limited seating for the dinner, which will begin at 6 PM.  To reserve your dinner ticket, which includes your meal and a drink, please call Boudreaux’s Bistro at 801-465-1222.  Tickets will be sold until April 19.
