NORTH AMERICAN ROUTES FROM SOUTH LOUISIANA TO CAPE BRETON WITH THE SAVOY-DOUCET CAJUN BAND AND BEOLACH
We’re rolling out New Orleans Creole and Cajun Francité and soul. We’ll hear music from The Meters, Kid Ory, and Carol Fran… plus the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band live at the French Market in New Orleans. Then, we head to Cape Breton Island in Maritime Canada for a visit with fiddler Wendy MacIsaac of the band Beolach, along with other Nova Scotia Scots Gaelic classics… and finally some down home American folks.
