There’s something undeniably special about a weekend tucked away in the hills of Driftless Music Gardens, and this year’s Bonfire Music & Arts Festival was no exception. From June 12 – 14 in Yuba, Wisconsin, music lovers gathered under sunny skies and starry nights for three days of pure, unfiltered joy. With a fantastic lineup headlined by Railroad Earth, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, People Brothers Band, and Heatbox, the weekend became one long, beautiful jam session.

Today, on what would’ve been his 100th birthday, the music of Clifton Chenier is being heard more far and wide than he could’ve ever imagined. From the original recordings that put the King of Zydeco on the map to the covers from bands and artists he helped influence, Chenier’s fiery accordion and raucous, bluesy delivery have touched the souls of everyone from the fledgling aficionado to some of the biggest acts in history. And today, one of the latter is returning the love to one of their early influences.
