THE CAJUN COUNTRY REVIVAL

The Cajun Country Revival makes music full of spontaneity and joy. Together, they play Cajun dance hall music from the prairies of southwest Louisiana where generations young and old alike come together to celebrate their vibrant culture by dancing, socializing and having a good time. Jesse Lége is the real deal. Growing up in a rural, pre-electricity home in Gueydan, Louisiana, Jesse spoke Cajun French and learned music from relatives, neighbors, and the family's much-loved battery-powered radio. Today he is one of the most admired Cajun accordionists and vocalists in the world.

Sharing the stage with Jesse for the last 25 years is fiddler Joel Savoy. Since his early teens Joel has been dedicated to honoring, preserving and living the legacy that is Cajun culture, instigating and supporting traditional music and events such as the Courir de Mardi Gras and boucheries. A two-time GRAMMY Award-winning producer and engineer, he’s worked and played with just about every musician out of SWLA, but is most often found onstage with his parents and brother in the Savoy Family Cajun Band or Jourdan Thibodeaux et les Rodailleurs.

Joining Jesse and Joel onstage as often as possible are two of their “favorite musicians in the world," Sammy Lind and Nadine Landry of the internationally acclaimed Foghorn Stringband. A highly-respected old-time fiddler, Sammy Lind plays only a few fiddle duets with Joel in this group, offering instead that classic Cajun rhythm guitar drive, while bandmate Nadine Landry (Québec) challenges Jesse for the most powerful vocals as she keeps them all together with her double bass.

On stage Saturday August 1st 2026.
