OUT of Silver City, New Mexico, Ken Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie
have spent a lifetime soaking up the traditional music of Louisiana, New Mexico
and Arizona. With fiddles, accordions, 5-string banjos and guitars
they'll take you on a musical odyssey, reinvigorating the old songs and dance
tunes with wit, warmth and style. Together for thirty years, their passion for
the traditions of southwest America produces a wonderful Chilegumbo variety of
music from the Cajun Bayous west of the Mississippi, through Texas, and into
the mountains of New Mexico and Arizona.
Ken and Jeanie - the core of the band - continue to chase down old
treasures on the tune trail, while putting together a few new ones as well.
Playing as a duo, or joined by long time band members, the group continues to
rock, waltz and chotis into the second decade of 2000. For us they will be a
trio, joined by their talented godson Tomas Wentz on fiddle, guitar and vocals.
