Celebrate Mardi Gras season with Feufollet! This young and vibrant Southwest Louisiana band takes Cajun, honky-tonk, and string-band music as their starting point, and keeps an open mind about where their song craft will lead them.
Featuring twin fiddles, French accordion, guitar twang, and barn-dance rhythms, the band’s signature sound comes from the vocal performances. Flipping from husky honky-tonk angel to French chanteuse, Kelli Jones’ voice perfectly pairs with Chris Stafford’s swamp-pop vocal stylings. As the two trade off lead and harmony parts, they hit upon some of the same magic as history’s greatest duet partners—Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, and Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.
Cajun, country, and rock’n’roll all began as homespun enterprises, by musicians tinkering with inherited melodies until new sounds were struck. Feufollet keeps that experimental spirit alive and well with their diverse musical palette, edgy arrangements, and pop-song sensibilities.
Tickets are $30 for Adults, $25 for Veterans, $15 for Students.
