Popular variety band takes the DTA stage Friday. They've got the Tommy Bahama look. They've got the expensive shoes. They've got the variety tunes. They've got the cow bell
. They've got the saxophone. They've even got the accordian. And they've got the quirky name, Nik-L Beer. What more does a rock & roll band need to succeed in the modern world? I don't know. And I don't care. But what I do know is: Nik-L Beer plays Downtown Alive! tonight, Sept. 17.
For more than 30 years, Nik-L Beer has been delighting audiences across Louisiana. Drawing on diverse musical experiences, this eight-piece band belts out Golden Oldies, hard-driving zydeco, blue-eyed soul, Motown, country, 80s Funk, swamp pop, two-stepping Cajun, a cappella and Mardi Gras music.

For 27 years, Downtown Alive! has united community and culture to create a weekly tradition and celebration in downtown Lafayette every fall and spring. The fall 2010 season continues with more great entertainment in the form of free, family-friendly, smoke free, outdoor concert
