National Recording Sensation Buckwheat Zydeco to Perform at ELAN TRIO Summit

April 21, 2005 -- ELAN Home Systems announced today that nationally-renowned recording artist, Buckwheat Zydeco, will perform at the company's TRIO Summit closing party. The Mardi Gras themed TRIO bash, entitled "Crawfish Crazee", will be held on Saturday night, May 21, 2005, as part of the Elan Trio 2005 Summit.

"We want all of our Dealers to come away from Trio feeling thoroughly inspired, motivated and charged up! Therefore, we'll be capping off this year's Summit with an ultra-cool Mardi Gras celebration. And, when you think of Mardi Gras, there is absolutely no other band that even compares to Buckwheat Zydeco! Credited as being the James Brown of New Orleans music, Buckwheat's band features horns, washboards, and all the trimmings. They will surely have all our attendees up and dancing! To the delight of our Dealers, VIP Sponsors and Industry Partners, TRIO is now guaranteed to close with a huge Zydeco bang," said Cat Fowler, ELAN's Vice President Marketing and Technical Services.

A four-time Grammy nominee and one of the Top 50 grossing touring acts as reported by Pollstar, Buckwheat Zydeco's many, many performance credits, include performing at the Closing Ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta to a worldwide audience of 3 billion people plus 17,000 crazed athletes in the stadium, opening and closing President Clinton's second Inauguration in January 1997 -- in addition to having played at his first Inauguration. Their numerous national television appearances have included Late Night with David Letterman, the Today Show, CBS Morning News, NBC Nightly News, VH-1 and MTV.

According to the New York Times, "Buckwheat leads one of the best party bands in America; he can pump out zydeco two-beats or shift into rolling 12-bar blues, steaming all the way." For more information about Buckwheat Zydeco, check them out online at: http://www.buckwheatzydeco.com/
