Baton Rouge sits at the crossroads of Delta blues and Acadiana soul, where the Mississippi River carries musical currents up from New Orleans. The Manship Theatre at the Shaw Center and the Varsity Theatre host blues, zydeco, and jazz acts that echo the city's swamp pop heritage. In Spanish Town and along Government Street, crawfish boils often turn into backyard jams where country and rock meet Creole accordion lines.
