The Lost Bayou Ramblers, a multi-grammy award winning progressive Cajun rock band is coming to the  Roxbury Arts Center on Saturday, July 13 at 7:30pm. This unique American band blends traditional materials from African, Caribbean, Acadian (Canadian) and Native American traditions and whips them into a vigorous jam with accordion, fiddle, electric guitar, bass and drums.  Ticket prices are varied and can be reserved at roxburyartsgroup.org or by calling  607.326.7908.

Lost Bayou Ramblers stands at the crosscurrents of Louisiana culture, inhabiting an area between Cajun and Creole, convention and innovation, mystery and a revelation by blending modern sounds and rhythms with ancient Cajun melodies and lyrics. The last 5 years have brought Lost Bayou Ramblers two Grammy wins, a feature on Jack White’s American Epic, score contributions to the Oscar-nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild, and tours with Arcade Fire and the Violent Femmes.

Lost Bayou Ramblers was founded by brothers Louis and Andre Michot who grew up in a rich Cajun culture.  Andre learned accordion from their dad, Tommy who learned from Ray Abshire who learned from Nathan Abshire and Amédé Breaux, all of whom are critical members of the Cajun music scene and important early recording artists.  

Whether you have heard Cajun music before, you will be hard-pressed not to enjoy this high-energy music that is helping to keep the American French language alive. Don’t miss this chance to experience Louisiana culture at The Roxbury Arts Center on Saturday July 13, 2024 at 7:30pm.  The Lost Bayou Ramblers are Louis Michot, Andre Michot, Kirkland Middleton, Eric Heigle, Bryan Webre, and Jonny Campos.
