Event description
McCaffrey & Rooney Present
"Mardi Gras" with
Pointe Noir Cajun Band, Friday, February 21st
Pointe Noir finds its rhythm deeply rooted in Southwest Louisiana.
Cannon Labrie (accordion) is a long-time Cajun and Zydeco player who also plays with Yankee Chank and Planet Zydeco. Katie Trautz (fiddle) and Chris Hollis (guitar) are seasoned old-time players who eventually drifted south to the bayou to learn the musical traditions there. Helen Doyle (bass) has never been anywhere near Louisiana and is pleasantly surprised to be in a Cajun band. Walker Blackwell (triangle) has been surrounded by Cajun music his entire life and has been performing in local bands, including the Clayfoot Strutters, since he was 4 years old. Michael Bradshaw (drums) has played in bands most of his life in a variety of musical styles. His versatile grooves can be heard behind the Zydeco soul of Mango Jam, Vermont surf rockers Barbacoa and many more.
