For almost 30 years, Grammy Award-winning master accordionist Steve Riley has been celebrating Cajun and Creole greats (such as Canray Fontenot, Willie Broussard and Boozoo Chavis) and pushing the envelope of his regional roots by mixing in newer flavours of ska, funk, country swing, and swamp rock. Singing in French and English, Riley’s soaring voice and infectious charisma steers crowds through bittersweet front-porch waltzes, high-spirited dance hall barnburners and bluesy stomps. His hot stepping Mamou Playboys whip up an unforgettable good time with their conversational musicality and southwest Louisiana charm.
