One of Lafayette's greatest assets hosts a listener appreciation party at the Blue Moon Saloon.

KRVS 88.7 FM is one of Lafayette's greatest assets. They are a listener-supported, public radio station, broadcasting everything from NPR programming to Cajun music, zydeco, blues, jazz, swamp pop, swamp rock, alt-roots, indie rock and many other types of music created in Louisiana. They've hosted countless musicians in their Cypress Lake Studios to play live and talk about their work Sonny Landreth, Michael Doucet, Zachary Richard, Steve Riley, David Greely, Christine Balfa & Dirk Powell, the Magnolia Sisters, Keith Frank, the late Beau Jocque, Mark Broussard, Henry Butler, the Red Stick Ramblers, Terrance Simien, Marcia Ball and Buckwheat Zydeco. Many others have all also made the trek. On Nov. 6, KRVS hosts the "Rock the Moon" Listener Appreciation Party  at the Blue Moon. Be there to support them.
