VENUE
DIRECTIONS
“Donna
The Buffalo is from central New York state, not Louisiana, but this widely
loved quintet has woven that joyful, hip-shaking zydeco pulse into the DNA
of its sound, and leaders Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins have wrapped that
core vibe with hopeful, mellow lyrics.” --Music City Roots, Craig
Havighurst
Donna the Buffalo just passed the marker as their 25th year as a band and
have proven to be a consistent purveyor of American music. What’s the
recipe? To be sure, it’s infused with more spices than you’ll
find at a Cajun cookout by way of a southern-fried, rockin’ country
old-time jamboree. “For the dizzying array of styles and genres with
which they work, Donna The Buffalo maintain a surprising level of
consistency. The New York-based band has played around with folk, zydeco,
and many other musical ideas over the course of their 25-year career, but
they retain a sharp focus that has helped them create some truly lasting
music,” writes Elmore Magazine.

Info from the library on the event… The Friends of the

Joe Sands Fontenot, born in 1939 near Mamou, Louisiana, is the living
embodiment of the Creole traditional music of the bayou. This lively music
includes two-steps, waltzes and blues sung in the Cajun French dialect and
English. The songs encapsulate the stories of the people and places of the
region. Joe’s band features accordion, violin, guitar, bass, frattoir
and drums. Laissez les bon temps roulez, y’all!
P.S… Dempsey Pappion who is playing rubboard is Zydeco
Artist’s… Rusty Metoyer’s uncle..

for all the details.
Don’t forget Steve Riley & the
Mamou Playboys play a pre-festival dance Thursday night, Aug. 31, 7:00 PM
at The Towers in Narragansett. Go to www.mamouplayboys.com for
details.
*Festivals Acadiens, Lafayette,
LA--Oct. 12-16
Our rate at the Ramada Inn on Evangeline
Thruway will again be $65 + tax/night. This rate will apply from
Wed., Oct. 11 through Mon., Oct. 16.
If you plan to arrive early or stay late, I
am sure the hotel will honor the same rate.
The hotel is holding 50 rooms/night for our
group, & may have additional rooms available if you are tardy in making
your reservation.
Our booking code is “Festivals
Acadiens Zydeco Group Rate.” The hotel front desk phone number is
337-233-6815.
If any issue when you call to book, ask to
be transferred to Lashea Dugas (337-408-2808)—Carla has
retired. If you continue to have problems booking, contact me at dickbrainard@gmail.com.
The breakfast is about to what it used to
be—the only difference is there are no large bowls of cut fruit,
& we have to serve ourselves with coffee from the large urn rather than
wait for someone to come around with a pot. The pool & spa were cleaned
for us the day we arrived last time. The rooms are the same, with some
basic repairs. All in all, it’s good to be back, plus able to park
near our rooms & not have to go inside & use an elevator.
Go to www.festivalsacadiens.com
