Each spring, Zazu’s Verandah brings live music to the Dadeville Square with pop up music events throughout the rest of the year.
Last month, Zazu’s Verandah hosted Two Crows for Comfort. The two are from Manitoba, Canada, and they travel in their 18-foot camper with their dog Elliot to play music around North America. Two Crows for Comfort brought a folk inspired sound to Dadeville and recently released a new album this year called Next To Me, Vol. 1.
Soon Zazu’s will have more artists coming in for the fifth season of Music in the Air on the Dadeville Square. This music series originally started in 2020 as a way for people to enjoy live music while socially distanced during the pandemic.
Zazu’s didn’t expect the music series to go beyond that first year but come 2021 the community and musicians were asking for more. Over the years and with the help of the Lake Martin Songwriters Festival each July, during which Zazu’s Verandah is a host venue, more and more regional artists are recognizing Lake Martin as a place to perform.
Zazu’s Music on the Square is held on Thursday nights and the venue has seen weekend visitors coming on Thursdays rather than Fridays so they can stop by for the music.
Zazu’s also started partnering with Me Mama’ Grub Hub food truck so people can enjoy food and drinks while listening.
“I think that the community really looks forward to Thursday night,” co-owner Mitzy Hidding said in a previous TPI interview. “We wanted to bring something to Dadeville that people could look forward to.”
