The Savoy Family Band
Marc and Ann Savoy and their two sons Joel and
Wilson are the first family of Cajun music, but fame and fancy
titles aren't their thing. Despite having played on some of the
biggest stages in the world, they know that Cajun's true spirit is
more likely to be found at the jam sessions back at the famous
Savoy Music Center near Eunice LA. And yet, that spirit really does
inspire the family's performances and soaks through their raw,
sensual, and expert renditions of the some of the best Cajun music
you're ever likely to hear.
The Savoy Family have often been called ?Cajun Royalty', but you
can imagine 70 year-old Marc Savoy, the patriarch of the clan,
being none too pleased about that. Fashionable attention or
pretentious branding just aren't his bowl of gumbo. In fact, just
about anything grand and fancy gets his goat. His heaven is just
getting together with a bunch of friends at one of the legendary
Saturday morning jam sessions down at the Savoy Music Center, off
highway 190, just outside Eunice, Louisiana. "You play a few tunes,
you go socialize, you drink some coffee. It's fun!" he says. "It's
the fellowship involved in it."

Bayou
Seco
On first sight, Ken Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie, otherwise known as
?Bayou Seco' look like they might have stepped straight of the set
of the Coen Brothers' ?Oh Brother Where Art Thou?' but those
prairie threads, that venerable facial rug, are no prop department
pretence. They're outward symbols of a life lived in the service of
roots Americana in its many guises. Their shows are a journey
through time, an odyssey into the outback of the deep South West,
with its shifting populations of Native American, French, Mexican,
Polish, German, Irish migrant adventurers, each with their own
particular flavour to add to the rich musical sauce.
