Coordinator
Lynne Terr has lined up a wonderful staff of the most respected
Cajun and Creole musicians who
will keep the dance pavilion
throbbing. Informal jam sessions, a mid-week party with Cajun
cuisine, concerts, sessions in the Icehouse and on the “porch,”
and music in the dancers’ ears will create a sea of smiling faces
for the whole week.
J.B. Adams, Charlie Terr, Paul Daigle,
Kristi Gillory,
and
Jesse Lege
are teaching accordion this year.
Michelle Kaminsky, Al Berard, Tracy Schwarz,
and
Edward Poullard
will teach fiddle.
Christy Leichty
and Jim Phillips will teach dance.
Yvette Landry will teach electric bass.
Randy Vidrine
will teach guitar. Jackie
Miller
will be
teaching Cajun cooking again this year. Optional evening
mini-courses will be taught by
Larry Miller,
Cedric Watson,
and
Kristi Gillory.
Listen and dance to music by
Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole
and other musicians.
Blake Miller
will be on hand as a staff musician.
Each day
starts with a choice of jam sessions or a visit with various
artists; a cup of good strong Cajun coffee is always available. All classes meet for about two hours in the morning and again in
the afternoon. Each afternoon the entire group gathers for special
presentations on Cajun and Creole music or culture. With
mini-courses, concerts, dances and a mid-week party featuring
Cajun, it’s a gala week of nonstop music and
dancing. This year Cajun/Creole
Week will run concurrently with the new Early Country Music Week.
To register,
specify “Cajun/Creole Week” and your major class/instrument and
