Fiddles, Accordions, Piano, Triangles!! Holiday Fais do-do Dance Concert:The Savoy Family Cajun Band from Louisiana Debuts in Sacramento!

The Savoy Family Cajun Band insists upon maintaining a more acoustic approach to Cajun music, however the band holds its own amongst Cajun music lovers everywhere. In fact, the band loves seeing how much power and sound they can get out of just four instruments. Each member of the band can play numerous instruments and sometimes trade instruments during stage performances.

And just announced!! Sacramento's very own, Piano Man Richie Lawrence will open.

Sometimes the group demonstrates the way Cajun music has evolved by demonstrating the early double fiddle - triangle sound or the solo accordion - fiddle sound. Early French ballads are added to the program to show other historic elements prevelant in early southwest Louisiana. Between the songs the Cajun French poetry of the songs is often briefly translated by Ann so that the feeling can be better understood.
