I play the fiddle with two great local Cajun bands.  We perform regularly in the Lafayette, LA area and occasionally travel out of state for gigs.  I play on a violin that I built. Check the websites for a schedule of gigs, to purchase CDs, or to book either band.  You can also contact me for further info.

Magnolia Sisters



The
Magnolia Sisters
have been playing together for 15+ years.  I joined them about 5 years ago and play on the two most recent CDs. The musical repertoire consists of old gems that have been dug up and dusted (not polished) off, as well as Cajun standards played our way and ballads sung with heart.  Our new CD, Stripped Down, is now available from our website or from Arhoolie Records.

The Magnolia Sisters are:  Ann Savoy (accordion and vocals), Jane Vidrine (guitar, fiddle, and vocals), Lisa Trahan Reed (bass and vocals), and me (fiddle and vocals, guitar in this photo).
Catins 2009


Bonsoir, Catin  plays old Cajun dancehall standards and some original Cajun tunes in an old dancehall style, soulful and driving.  Our second album, Vive L'Amour, is now available ! from our website or through Valcour Records.  And our first CD, Blues á Catin, is fast becoming a classic and can be purchased via our website. 

Bonsoir, Catin is:  Kristi Guillory (
accordion and vocals),  Christine Balfa Powell (guitar and vocals),   Yvette Landry (bass and vocals), and me (fiddle and some vocals).
