2018
Southern California’s biggest
Blues, Cajun, Zydeco, and Roots Music Festival features two stages of
music, dozens of food booths, craft vendors and a daily Mardi Gras Parade
SIMI VALLEY,
Calif. — The 29th annual Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Music
Festival will once again fill your Memorial Day weekend with two days
of great music and great fun. Taking place Saturday May 26 and Sunday May
27 at Rancho Santa Susanna Community Park (5005 Los Angeles Ave., Simi
Valley), this popular festival features two stages delivering non-stop
performances showcasing an array of acclaimed Cajun, Blues and other
roots-based music acts.
Single Day
tickets are $30 for adults (ages 13 and over) per day, and $45 for a 2-day
pass; children 12 and younger are free. Special Early Bird single day
tickets can be purchased online at http://www.simicajun.org/
for $22 through April 15. After that date, tickets can be purchased
online for $25. Note: only $30 single-day tickets will be available at
the gate with cash and credit card being the acceptable forms of payment.
The Festival also offers a limited number of SuperTicket passes for the Blues Stage. For $124 for a single day
or $199 for both days, SuperTickets holders get
a reserved seat, in the shade, directly in the front of the Blues Stage
as well as private bar access (and two complimentary drinks) and other
exclusive “backstage experiences.”
Concertgoers will
be pleased to know that this year the Festival has the green light on
allowing pop-up tents, so folks can bring their own pop-up tents and
enjoy some relief from the sun. There will be 30,000 square feet of
shading and low back chairs are recommended for seating.
The
main event at the Simi Valley Cajun
& Blues Music Festival remains the music,
and this year is no exception with an impressive lineup that crosses
genres and spans generations. The Blues Stage is headlined on Saturday by
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer (and co-founder of Traffic) Dave Mason. Sunday finds
blues-infused classic rocker Eddie
Money topping the Blues Stage bill, which also includes a set from
the fabled funk soul rockers Chambers
Brothers. More old school blues power will
be supplied by Lightnin’
Willie (Saturday) and Arthur
Adams (Sunday).
The Blues Stage
also proudly hosts second-generation blues rockers the Devon Allman Project with Duane
Betts, who will perform on Saturday. Bo Dollis, Jr & The Wild
Magnolias, who appear on the Blues Stage on Saturday and the Cajun
Stage on Sunday, also has
strong musical bloodlines. Dollis, Jr. has succeeded his father as
“Big Chief” of the Wild Magnolias. There’s even the
third-generation Zydeco star Chubby Carrier & The Bayou Swamp Band, who is playing the Cajun Stage both days.
The Cajun Stage
this year is also spotlighting several top younger acts that should not
be missed. Lost Bayou Ramblers,
who won this year’s Best Regional Roots Album Grammy Award for
their album Kalenda, will be
performing on Cajun Stage Saturday and the Blues Stage Sunday. Kevin
Naquin & Ossun Playboys, the
heralded Cajun group from Southwest Louisiana, is doing double duty on
the Cajun Stage, while the award-winning Acadiana outfit La Recolte has a Saturday set and
the popular SoCal band Dennis G
and the Zydeco Trail Riderz can be enjoyed on Sunday.
One
of the Simi Valley Cajun
& Blues Music Festival’s long-time favorites, Lisa Haley
& The Zydekats, will be
commanding the Cajun Stage on both Saturday and Sunday. The Festival also
welcomes back the dynamic singer/keyboardist Alex Nester, who played the Blues Stage last year, and Kelly Z, who performed last year
with her band Kelly’s Lot and this year is part of the local super
group 3 Sista Blues.
About The
Headliners:
Dave Mason: The Rock And
Roll Hall of Famer began his illustrious career while he was just a
teenager when he formed the celebrated band
Traffic with Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood. His Traffic tune
“Feelin’ Alright” was made famous by Joe Cocker.
“Only You Know and I Know,”
“We Just Disagree,” and “Dreams I Dream” stand as
highlights of Mason’s successful solo career. His distinctive
guitar work has appeared on albums by George Harrison, Paul McCartney,
The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix. In 2016, he released the CD Traffic Jam, which he followed
last year with the EP Pink Lipstick.
Eddie Money: Last year marked the 40th
anniversary of Money’s smash self-titled debut album, which
introduced "Baby Hold On" and his signature song “Two
Tickets To Paradise.” Money has also found
chart success with “I Wanna Go Back,” “Walk On Water,” “You Really Got A Hold On
Me,” and “I’ll Get By,” and he scored a Grammy
nomination for his duet with Ronnie Spector, “Take Me Home
Tonight.” The one-time New York City cop was discovered, and
managed, by the legendary Bill Graham, who described Money as a natural
performer, and the charismatic Money has been entertaining audiences for
over four decades.
Devon Allman Project With
Duane Betts: After leading the
Devon Allman's Honeytribe and Royal Southern Brotherhood for nearly two
decades, Devon Allman decided to put together a new band following the
death last year of his father Gregg Allman. The six-piece Devon Allman
Project fulfills Allman’s long discussed team-up with fellow guitarist
Duane Betts (the son of Dickey Betts who is named after Devon’s
uncle Duane Allman). The two have known each other since they were teens
when their fathers were in the Allman Brothers together. Expect a set
featuring some Devon songs, some Dickey songs, some Allman Brothers
songs, and plenty of fiery guitar playing.
Chambers Brothers: It was 50 years ago this year that the
Chamber Brothers scored a Top 20 hit with their epic tune “Time Has
Come Today.” This psychedelic soul masterpiece has remained popular
and relevant ever since. The song has been covered repeatedly by bands
over the years; Pearl Jam performed it at their 2016 Wrigley Field
“Let’s Play Two” concert. No one, however, can play
like the Chambers Brothers can. Their sound, a special brew of gospel,
funk, R&B, and rock & roll, draws upon their native Mississippi
and their long-time home of Los Angeles.
Lost Bayou Ramblers: The past year has been a thrill ride for
the Lost Bayou Ramblers. The Louisiana band appeared on the acclaimed
documentary series American Epic
in a performance produced by Jack White. Their album Kalenda picked up a Grammy win for Best Regional Roots Album
back in January. Featuring Louis Michot (fiddle and lead vocals), Andre
Michot (accordion and lapsteel), Eric Heigle (electronics and acoustic
guitar), Kirkland Middleton (drums), Johnny Campos (guitar and vocals),
and Bryan Webre (bass and vocals), the band takes both a traditional and
unorthodox approach to Cajun music, which might be why Arcade Fire liked
them enough to bring them out on their Reflektor tour.
Chubby Carrier & The Bayou Swamp
Band: Chubby Carrier is
known as “The World’s Premier Zydeco Showman,” and he
has demonstrated that every time he takes the stage at the 150 or so
shows he plays each year with his Bayou Swamp Band. With his group, he
has spread the joyous sounds of Zydeco around the world. Zydeco music is
in Chubby’s blood: his father Roy Carrier, his grandfather Warren
Carrier and his cousins Bebe and Calvin Carrier are all Zydeco legends.
Chubby Carrier & The Bayou Swamp Band were honored by a Grammy
victory in 2011 for Best Zydeco or Cajun Album.
Bo Dollis, Jr. & The Wild Magnolias: Bo Dollis, Jr. hails from New Orleans music
royalty. His father Bo Sr. served as “Big Chief” of the Mardi
Gras Indian tribe known as the Wild Magnolias before Bo Jr. succeeded him
in 2012. The following year, they released A New Kind of Funk, their first album of original recordings
since 1999. Besides creating wonderfully festive and authentic New
Orleans funk, the band is also known for their colorful costumes that
represent native Louisiana “Indian Masking” traditions.
3 Sista Blues: This trio - Deb Ryder, Shari Puorto and
Kelly Z - represents something of a Southern California blues super
group. Each “Sista” has had a significant career on her own.
Ryder was a Sean Costello Rising Star Award nominee for the Blues Blast
Music Awards. Puorto was named Best
Female Vocalist at the South Bay Music Awards and won
Americana/Blues/Roots Song of the Year honors at the L.A. Music Awards.
Kelly Z’s band Kelly’s Lot has been a mainstay of the L.A.
music scene and has a strong European following. Now the powerhouse
vocalist has teamed with Ryder and Puorto to create a terrific
triumvirate of local blues all-stars.
Kevin Naquin & Ossun Playboys: Led by the accordion-pumping Naquin, the
Southwestern Louisiana-bred band has racked up a number
of honors from the Cajun French Music Association over the years.
The group honors Cajun music traditions while also injecting their songs
with their own brand of infectious energy. Be prepared to shake and swing
because Kevin Naquin & Ossun Playboys are known as being one of Cajun
music’s premier dance outfits.
Lisa Haley & The Zydekats: For over 20 years, Lisa Haley and The
Zydekats have ranked as one of the best, if not the best,
Americana/Cajun/Zydeco bands in California. Joining fiddler Haley in The
Zydekats are David Fraser (accordion, keyboards, harmonica), Andy Anders
(bass and vocals), and Cam Tyler (drums, vocals and percussion). They
have entertained crowds around the globe, performed on more TV shows and
movies than you can count, and grabbed a Grammy
nomination for their album King
Cake.
The
Festival’s Blues Stage has been booked again by Martin Fleischmann and his
company, Rum & Humble. For
more than two decades, Rum & Humble has played a key role in
presenting many of the world’s top musical acts (Radiohead, King Sunny
Ade, and The Rolling Stones, to name a few) at top Los Angeles venues
including the Hollywood Bowl, the Orpheum Theatre and the Santa Monica
Pier. The firm is known for its close collaborations with many clients,
ranging from artists including Jackson Browne and Paul Oakenfold to such
organizations as KJAZZ Radio and the National Geographic Society. Rum
& Humble also has been a pioneer promoter of Latin alternative music,
and Fleischmann helped to start L.A.’s Conga Room.
Since
its start nearly 30 years ago, the Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Festival
has garnered international attention and grown into one of the largest
music festivals of its kind west of the Mississippi River. Jazz Weekly’s George W.
Harris has hailed the Festival, proclaiming, “forget the Playboy
Jazz Festival, the Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Fest beats the older and
richer sister. This is coming from a jazzer, yet still, pound for pound
and dollar for dollar, I have more fun here than in Hollywood …
(it) “delivered music made to last…(and
I) can’t wait until next year.”
To reach Rancho
Santa Susanna Community Park from Los Angeles, take California Hwy. 118
(Ronald Reagan Freeway) north to Stearns Street exit and then drive a
couple blocks south. Ample free parking is available, with the main lot
located at the Simi Valley High School; a free shuttle takes to you to
the Park. The Festival also is within an easy walking distance of the Amtrak Simi Valley station, which is located
nearby at 5050 Los Angeles Avenue.
A presentation of
the Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise, the Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Music
Festival donates 100% of its profits to charitable, educational and
humanitarian causes on a local, national and international level. A list
of these organizations may be found at < http://www.simicajun.org/who-benefits/>.

Celebrate Memorial
Day the Cajun Way! La Recolte Cajun Band plays The Coffee Gallery
Backstage on May 26, 2018.
Rare west coast
appearance by "Old School" traditional Cajun band
La Recolte Cajun Band
Planting Seeds For A New Crop of Cajun Culture
in California
LONG BEACH, Calif.
- May 4, 2018
In their debut appearance
at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, La Recolte Cajun Band returns to
California in a rare west coast performance of traditional Cajun music
with lyrics in French at 7 PM Saturday night, May 26, 2018. Admission is
$25 per person. Call (626)798-6236 for reservations. La Recolte is
bringing the state of Louisiana with them- the state of mind, body, heart
and soul of Acadiana and the state of authentic, traditional Cajun music.
The members of this Lafayette, Louisiana-based band represent the
hardworking, down-to-earth nature of the people and Cajun culture of
southwest Louisiana. "We want to bring our heritage, our own unique
culture, our strong musical roots and the things we love to the west
coast," says accordionist and unofficial band spokesperson Shane
Bellard. “The basis for the band is to keep our heritage
going."
La Recolte's
humble beginnings in a garage in 2012 have been rewarded. In 2014 the
band received the Cajun French Music Association award for "Best
First CD" for Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes ,
with CFMA nominations the same year for Band of The Year and
People’s Choice Award. La Recolte was honored to play at the 2016
Festivals Acadiens et Creole in Lafayette, Louisiana. As fiddle player
Joel Breaux puts it, Festivals Acadiens is "the Carnegie Hall of
Cajun music." To perform at Festivals Acadiens means they have
"joined the ranks of the Balfa Brothers, DL Menard, Nathan Abshire,
Canray Fontenot and all the other legendary musicians who pushed the
music to make it popular around the world." With the release of
their second CD, Le Deuxieme in
2016, La Recolte received CFMA nominations for Band of the Year,
accordionist/vocalist Shane Bellard was nominated for Vocalist of the
Year, and the bands’ original song La Recolte Two Step was nominated for Best Song.
As if playing
Festivals Acadiens and getting coveted nominations from CFMA isn’t
enough, La Recolte can be found playing at all the major festivals and
popular dance halls in Louisiana, including Lafayettes’
Feed-n-Seed, the famed Liberty Theater, the venerable Blue Moon Saloon,
and Breaux Bridge’s Crawfish Festival. They’ve been
interviewed in French on Canadian radio, and
have been awarded to be Louisiana Tourism Ambassadors while in
California. “We’re road warriors,” says LaFleur, describing
one particularly grueling road trip. “Nothing can stop us from
carrying our music and culture around the world.”
Each band member is a
native speaker of the Cajun French language-a language that was once vilified, but is now being proudly revived. With
ancestors who landed in Louisiana after being forced out of Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island during what’s known as The
Great Expulsion-the forced removal of the Acadian people by the
British-these three generations are representative of a uniquely American
culture-the Cajun culture that evolved around the prairies and bayous of
southwest Louisiana. “It’s a way of life,” states
accordionist Bellard.
While their roots have
much in common, their livelihoods reflect many different paths: Fiddle
player and vocalist Joel Breaux is a successful architect, drummer Chris
LaFleur has made a career in Human Resources, Shane Bellard is a Training
Manager, LJ is now retired from his job as a heavy equipment operator for
the state of Louisiana and Polo is looking forward to retirement from his
job at the State Department of Transportation. Together the synergy
between them is electrifying and nostalgic, evoking the joy and the
sadness of simpler times.
Cajun music “is
dance hall music,” says fiddler Joel Breaux. “This is what
they play in the dance halls around Louisiana.” And dance hall
music it is, as the dancers move clockwise around the dance floor in time
to the lively two steps and waltzes in the rambling rooms with the well-worn
wooden floors and rickety stages of the band stand. The importance of the
dancers to the band can’t be underestimated. “The dancers are
going to make or break the performance,” Shane adds. “The
more energy they give, the more energy we have to put into the
show.” He goes on to say, “it’s not about the number of
people on the floor. You can have large crowds that aren’t
interested or a small group that really enjoyed it. The energy changes
even if it’s only a handful of people.”
Come join La Recolte in
sharing their passion for Canjun French music. Be transported to the
dance halls and honky tonks of southwest Louisiana in this warm,
intimate, up-close-and-personal venue. Shout “et tois!” Give
a loud “Eeee Haaaaw!” Tap your feet, clap your hands and hoot
‘n holler, as you won’t be able to stay in your seat. The
band will be lookin’ for ya!
Seating is limited and this event will sell out early, so call
(626) 798-6236 TODAY and make your reservations. The Coffee Gallery
Backstage is located at 2029 North Lake Avenue, Altadena CA
91001. Call (626)798-6236 for reservations and information.
