I like Cajun/Zydeco music too. Beausoleil is one of my favorite bands. Saw them once when the Oneida Nation had a Cajun weekend here back around 2000.
I also like Gaelic Storm. First hear their music in the movie "Titanic," and bought several of their albums. I see they are scheduled to play at a pub in Pawling, New York in Dutchess County in June, but I wouldn't drive down there just to see them. First of all...too old. Second of all, with the mask mandate still intact, I'd not waste my time going anywhere other than the grocery store, or doctor appointments if I have to wear a mask. I used to meet friends at the local casino here once a month, but it's been a year since I last went, and I won't go back until you don't have to wear a mask.
Yes, I like Cajun/Zydeco bands, too. And I saw (and booked) most of them in their prime. Never liked Beausoleil, though, they just seemed so wooden and stiff to me. Give me C.J. Chenier, Lynn August, Bruce Daigrepont, Queen Ida and D. L. Menard, and I’m happy.
“I like Cajun/Zydeco music too.”
I have just about everything that Beau Jocque did. He passed way to young. I don’t think he ever fully recovered from falling off the roof while doing a roofing job.
