Gerald Greunig and his band of heavy-hitters in Gentilly Zydeco will perform two sets at Prejean’s for its Zydeco Brunch, on Sunday, May 16. Prejean’s, a culinary and cultural landmark in Acadiana for decades, has resumed its Zydeco Brunch in partnership with Love of People.
General Admission is $30 per person, includes a one entrée, one mimosa, and one amazing live music experience. Tickets can be purchased online. The Blue Monday All-Star Package can also be purchased online, and is $100 per person, for which guests receive bottomless mimosas, one complimentary brunch entrée and premium seating. Walk in-guests may order from the full brunch menu, and may be asked to assess a $10 service charge on their bill for the band. Seating for the early-bird show starts at 10 a.m., and Gentilly Zydeco starts at 10:30. The reservations end at 12, and seating for the afternoon show starts at 12:30. The second show starts at 1:30 p.m. Industrial Safety Solutions will be sanitizing between seatings to ensure it’s a “clean scene.”

“We are excited to bring back the original Prejean’s Zydeco Brunch,” said owner, Tim Metcalf. Metcalf and partners announced their ownership, remodel and rebrand last November, and have reopened the South Louisiana institution. Prejean’s had continuously featured Cajun music, but is seizing the opportunity to reinstate the old pastime of live Zydeco music on Sundays. The new ownership remains committed to showcasing the best Cajun, Zydeco and Blues music Acadiana has to offer.
“By partnering with Blue Monday,” Metcalf said, “we are able to help the community and help to
preserve one of our most unique assets – the music.”
Metcalf and his Prejean’s partners possess more than 75 years of restaurant industry experience among them. When Metcalf began to execute his vision, he reached out to the accomplished Marc Broussard, who referred Metcalf to his affiliated service organization, Love of People. Broussard has donated much of his time and celebrity to LOP since its inception. LOP will co-produce Zydeco Brunch and ensure the mutual vision of preserving the culture, and cultural economy, is realized.
