Grammy-Winning Singer-Songwriter and Fiddler Louis Michot Brings Engaging Solo Project to the Roxbury Arts Center June 13

ROXBURY — Louis Michot, the two-time Grammy award winner, fiddle player and singer for Lost Bayou Ramblers, is celebrating the release of his debut solo album, “Rêve du Troubadour” with a tour of intimate solo performances.  A passionate guardian of French Louisiana culture and an ecological steward of his home in the fastest disappearing landmass in the world, Michot’s music delivers a distinctly Cajun history, place, and language while speaking to universal and prescient themes.  Experience Louis’ engaging performance on Friday June 13, 2025 7:30p at the Roxbury Arts Group, 5025 Vega Mountain Road, Roxbury.  Tiered Equity Pricing is available and tickets and information are available at www.roxburyartsgroup.org or by calling 607-326-7908. 

Louis’ solo trajectory started in 2022 when he began tracking his original songs recordings in his dry-docked houseboat named “Sister Ray”.  He later completed the album, Rêve du Troubadour or “The Troubadour’s Dream”, at Mark Bingham’s Piety Studio with engineering by his Ramblers bandmate Kirkland Middleton and an impressive roster of international collaborators.  His recently released second album SEAUXLEAUX was just released by Nouveau Electric Records on May 30, 2025 and is the inspiration for this current tour.  The recording represents Louis’ live solo shows, a dynamic performance featuring guitar, fiddle, voice, and an effected-samples stomp box, with a collection of songs that tells his stories and those of the Louisiana French experience. 

With two Grammy awards, 6 film scores and over 20 LPs under his belt, Michot’s music career continues to push the boundaries of the Louisiana French music traditions. Along with his brother, Andre, Louis was named Louisianian of the Year in 2020, and their band Lost Bayou Ramblers was named Entertainers of the Year by New Orleans’ Big Easy Awards in 2019.  2021 brought special challenges for Michot, from restarting his live music during the pandemic, to doing hurricane relief work as noted in Rolling Stone (Can This Cajun-Punk Musician Protect His Culture From Climate Change?, September 16, 2021) while raising funds to get solar generators and panels to residents of Terrebonne Parish affected by Hurricane Ida, as written about in New Yorker magazine (The Lost Bayou Ramblers Get Lit, January 3, 2022).

Don’t miss this rare chance to experience this compelling and award winning musician live in concert on Friday June 13, 2025 7:30p at the Roxbury Arts Group, 5025 Vega Mountain.  Tickets and information available at www.roxburyartsgroup.org and by calling 607-326-7908.
