The Pine Leaf Boys, co-presented by Friends of Cajun/Zydeco Music and Dance
KRFC 88.9 FM picks
Louisiana's finest, three-time Grammy-nominated Pine Leaf Boys (2010: Best Cajun/Zydeco) have made a name for presenting their own inimitable brand of Cajun music with youthful exuberance. Hailing from the southwest Louisiana, the Pine Leaf Boys, known for their wild shows and thoughtful arrangements, have breathed new life into Cajun music, reviving ancient songs and bringing them to the bandstand. Being described as, "... the link that connects the young and the old generations," and "the best new, energetic, and fun Cajun band in a very long time," the Pine Leaf Boys play the old fashion dance hall standards while making a priority to bring many of the more obscure songs of past masters into their repertoire and play them with gusto. The variety and energy they release evolves through their shows, bringing multi-faceted angles to Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco. Their mission is to present the awesome music of their ancestors and present the real Cajun music to the world and prove that it is still thriving and full of life.
The Pine Leaf Boys will be offering three Cajun music workshops on Sunday 17: Cajun Fiddle with Courtney Grange, Cajun Accordion with Wilson Savoy and Cajun French Songs with Drew Simon and Jon Bertrand. Please check our website for pricing and availability.
