<h2>Doors 6pm</h2><h2>Beginner-Friendly Dance Lesson 6:30pm</h2><h2>Show 7pm</h2> Jimmy Breaux, longtime accordion player in the Grammy Award-winning group Beausoleil, is acknowledged to be one of the best Cajun accordionists of the modern era. He spent 25 years touring the globe with Beausoleil, from all 50 U.S. states to Europe and the Middle East, and performing at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall and two presidential inaugurations for Presidents Bush and Obama. This period included his notable work on Mary Chapin Carpenter’s hit "Down at the Twist &amp; Shout" and performances at the Grammy and Country Music Awards. He is in the fourth generation of his family to play Cajun music. His great aunt, Cléoma Breaux Falcon, sang and played on the very first Cajun record to be issued back in 1928, “Allons à Lafayette.” His grandfather, Amédée Breaux, made the very first recording of “Jolie Blonde.” Jimmy will be joined by his friends Suzy Thompson, Eric Thompson, Allegra Thompson and Mark Marcin. Eric Thompson's flatpicking on guitar and mandolin is exceptional for its purity of tone, speed, and soulfulness; Suzy is a powerful singer, an award-winning fiddler and Cajun accordion player who has apprenticed with older generation Louisiana Cajun musicians under an NEA Fellowship. Founding members of many influential roots music groups including the Black Mountain Boys, Any Old Time, the Klezmorim, and the California Cajun Orchestra, Eric and Suzy have also worked with Maria Muldaur, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Jim Kweskin, Geoff Muldaur, Jerry Garcia, Darol Anger, Laurie Lewis, the Savoy Doucet Cajun Trio, and many other fine musicians. Eric and Suzy's daughter Allegra Thompson (Aux Cajunals and the Midnite Ramblers) will be playing bass with the band. Multi Instrumentlist Mark Marcin (Midnite Ramblers) will be playing guitar and fiddle. Put on your dancing shoes and get ready for a rockin good time!
