Put Up or Shut Up: Lil' Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers with "Git Yo' Money Up"

Lil' Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers bring us today's random tune, called Git Yo' Money Up. Lil' Nathan is Nathan Williams Jr., son of Nathan Williams who leads the Zydeco Cha Chas. At the age of 5 he began playing rubboard in his father's band, eventually playing drums and then accordion, eventually becoming a master of both the single note and triple row accordions. He formed the Big Timers at 14 as a freshman in high school in Lafayette, Louisiana, recording his first studio album called Zydeco Ballin'. After recording their second album, the Zydeco Big Timers became an in-demand band on the zydeco circuit. Lil' Nathan and his band have opened for major musicians such as Keith Sweat, Tank, New Edition, and Dru Hill among others. He has also gained a bachelor's degree in jazz studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and he plans to become a music and vocal teacher alongside his recording and performing career, and he is currently an instructor for students in the Zydeco Ensemble at Louisiana Lafayette. Git Yo' Money Up can be found on the Lil' Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers 2015 album Face 2 Face - Nate the Great.
