Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

The Dixie Power Trio, formed in 1992 on Virginia's East Coast, blends New Orleans jazz, zydeco, Cajun flavors, and street-parade energy into a modern Dixieland sound. Led by Zachary Smith, with long-time collaborators including bass player Andy Kochenour and drummer Byron McWilliams, this Virginia-based ensemble has toured widely along the U.S. East Coast and earned a dedicated following for their high-energy performances and irregular instrumentation—think cornet, washboard, and tuba driving a vibrant, groove-forward show.

The live experience

What reaches the room

Today, the group continues as Zachary Smith & the Mardi Gras Kings, delivering the same Louisiana-variety magic under a new name while preserving the band's roots in traditional jazz and infectious live energy. Their work has earned airplay on NPR and regional recognition, including a Washington-area WAMMIE for Best Traditional Jazz Recording, highlighting their impact on the American roots music scene.
