Michael Doucet will perform at the Buckman Performing Arts Center in Memphis, Tennessee on January 22, 2027. Doucet is a highly regarded fiddler, composer, and bandleader primarily known for his work within Cajun and Creole music traditions. His style blends traditional Louisiana French music with elements of blues, rock, and zydeco, often featuring complex arrangements and virtuosic playing. He is a founding member of the Grammy-winning band Beausoleil avec Michael Doucet, which has been instrumental in popularizing Cajun music internationally since its formation in 1975.

The Buckman Performing Arts Center is located on the campus of Rhodes College. Originally constructed in 1995, it serves as a significant cultural hub for both the college community and the wider Memphis area. The center’s main performance space, Hall Auditorium, is designed to accommodate a variety of performances including orchestral concerts, theatrical productions, dance recitals and diverse musical acts. The building also houses smaller spaces used for lectures, rehearsals and educational programs related to the performing arts. It's known for its acoustics and relatively intimate setting compared to larger venues in the city.
