You don't have to look that hard when tracing back through the Creole and Zydeco heritage, the music's blood is Type Frank. Preston Frank's family — he's the big papa donchyaknow — is at the heart of traditional Louisiana music and has been so for decades. Preston has eased up on touring a tad, and the reigns have been handed off to his children. Consequently any time you can see the master live, you'd better do it. Boogie!

Preston Frank will play Wednesday, May 11, 8 p.m., at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $10-$15. abilenebarandlounge.com. And again on Sunday, May 15, at the Harmony House, 58 East Main Street, Webster. 5 p.m. $10-$18. rochesterzydeco.com.
