Allons Danser Avec Beausoleil

The great Cajun dance band Beausoleil Avec Michael Doucet performs this Saturday night at the Arden Gild Hall at 8 p.m.. A perfect way to celebrate the downfall of the billionaires on the hill, or for the billionaires on the hill to recover from their loss. In other words, billionaires are welcome and we do serve wine (and Dogfish Head Beer) at the bar. When it comes to taking your money, we’re proudly non-partisan.

Yes, this is another shameless self-promotion by Yours Truly, El Somnambulo, who is producing the show.

Since forming in 1975, the six-piece BeauSoleil have claimed their undisputed role as the most esteemed Cajun group in music. BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet take the rich Cajun traditions of Louisiana and artfully blend elements of zydeco, New Orleans jazz, Tex-Mex, country, blues and more into a satisfying musical recipe. From The Grand Ole Opry to Newport Folk, from concert hall to dance floor, the music of BeauSoleil captivates audiences worldwide.

BeauSoleil Avec Michael Doucet won a 2009 Grammy Award for their “Live from the 2008 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival” CD. They have won two Grammies, and have been nominated 11 times. Simply put, they’re one of the best live bands out there. Here’s a taste:

Hope to see you Saturday.
