George Clinton may have dibs on p-funk, but Lil’ Brian Terry is all about the z-funk. That’s z as in zydeco. Hailing from the Creole-rich town of Barrett Station, Texas, Lil’ Brian and the Zydeco Travelers is equally laden with washboards and accordions as groove-heavy hip-hop beats. The band has as many influences as Bubba Gump has gumbo recipes. Get thrown into the funk tank this Tuesday as Lil’ Brian and crew join the Hep Cat Boo Daddies at Revolution (200 W. Broward Blvd., Fort Lauderdale). Doors open at 9 p.m. for age 21 and up. Tickets cost $5. Call 954-727-0950, or visit www.jointherevolution.net.
