They are truly fantastic. With their fabulous powerhouse cajun singer, Amelia Beire,
Blake’s deep deep background in the genre
and his amazing accordion playing and vocals, and AJ Srubas’
strong and clean fiddling it’s quite a band. they are every bit as
hot as Cajun Country Revival."

afterwards in a warm community setting on his working farm. $45 dollar donation. Reservations via email. Get
on it soon as these guys are really awesome. Let

Grammy
Nominated Blake Miller and the Old-Fashioned Aces at StillWater Food & Spirits in Dana Point, CA, 5-8
PM, Sunday, January 20, 2018
Come
get your gumbo on and a head start on Mardi Gras! Step onto the dance
floor for a southern California Fais do-do,
as you waltz and two-step to the high-energy Louisiana dance-hall music
of multi-Grammy-nominated Blake Miller of Blake Miller and the Old-Fashioned
Aces at StillWater Food and Spirits in Dana
Point on Sunday, January 20, 2018. Described by OffBeat
Magazines’ Dan Willgig as a
“Groove band that’s dance compelling,” the
Aces’ Cajun French songs will take you on a dizzying ride from
hard-core, pared-down, gritty Cajun/Zydeco two-step party music to
waltzes as soulfully heart-wrenching as only Cajun music can be.
As
the grandson of the world-renowned Cajun accordion-builder Larry
Miller, the younger Miller’s life is steeped in Cajun music, food
and culture. Growing up helping in his grandfather’s shop from a
very early age, he met and was influenced by some of the greatest names
in Louisiana music. Miller was star struck by the towering giant of
Zydeco, Beau Jocque, and many others.
“This is what I grew up with. I thought everyone listened to
Cajun music all the time,” Miller says. “I was a huge fan
of Boozoo (Chavis) when I was in kindergarden. One day Boozoo
and his son Charles came to the shop for a new rubboard and they got me
and my cousin Jay out of school to meet him.” Inspired by the
constant contact with famed Cajun and Creole musicians, the steady
stream of house parties and jams at his grandfather’s shop,
Miller has been playing since receiving his first toy accordion at age
5, and also plays fiddle, guitar, bass, and
his latest obsession, steel guitar. He’s gone on to become a
legendary Cajun musician himself.
His
many accomplishments have not gone to his head. Asked what he’d
like people to know about him, he replies, “That I’m a good
cook!” He adds, “I’m a classic gumbo guy-chicken and
sausage all the way.”
A
fluent speaker of French, while obtaining his degree in Francophone
studies at University of Louisiana, Lafayette, Miller was a founding
member of the Grammy-nominated Pine Leaf Boys and joined The Red Stick
Ramblers, both high-octane, yet soulful authentic Cajun bands. Featured
in the New York Times and Rolling Stone Magazine, the Pine Leaf Boys
have been musical ambassadors on 6 tours for the U.S. State Department.
The Ramblers were featured in seasons 3 and 4 of the post-Katrina HBO
hit, “Treme,” playing their songs
“Made in the Shade,” “Katrina,” and
“Morning Blues.” The Ramblers dissolved in 2013 and
reassembled as The Revelers, which went on to a Grammy nomination for
“Get Ready,” their second CD of original tunes, which was
described by OffBeat Magazines’ Dan Willging as “Groove bound and dance
compelling.”
When
asked what it’s like getting nominated for a Grammy, Miller says,
“It was surreal.” “I didn’t really think much
of it at the time,” he continues in his typically humble fashion,
“it was an echelon I never thought I’d get to when I was
growing up.”
Having
played widely throughout the U.S. and traveling all over the world in
his 32 years, Miller has performed with just about every renowned Cajun
artist in Louisiana, and an extensive list of venues rivaling that of a
musician twice his age. Of all this, his favorite memory to date is of
going to Haiti to play with another former member of The Pine Leaf
Boys, twice Grammy-nominated Cedric Watson. “We were at a music
festival” he says. “The extreme poverty was jaw-dropping,
yet everything was so alive and vibrant-it was
so rich. It was beautiful!” he says reverently. “The
beaches, the trees, the landscapes. It was gorgeous. We just went and
started playing on a porch in town, and everyone started singing and
playing along with their own instruments. They would sing the songs
back to us like they knew the songs. We drew a huge crowd. There was a
“Rah Rah” parade with two groups
and each group in the parade had it’s
own colors and instruments-mostly drums and big tubes they played into.
The two groups met in the middle of town and the whole thing exploded,
like a Caribbean battle of the bands. It was a giant party.” He
continues, “In a way, all my songs are about this. I feel the
Caribbean influence in my everyday life. Louisiana is very different
because of the Caribbean influence.”
While
still playing with The Revelers, Miller has pared things down to Cajun
music’s original core with The Old-Fashioned Aces. Asked how he
came to the Aces trio configuration, Miller says, “I wanted to do
something more homey, like comfort food-you
know, like a great gumbo. Something that would stick to your
ribs.” High-end venues such as Lincoln Center don’t appeal
to him. “My favorite places to play are the old opera houses and
the dance halls. The places with low ceilings, dark, not always good
sound,” he says. “The grittier places.” He continues,
“I’ve played at La Poussiere,
Whiskey, Wranglers, Atchafalaya Club, McGees.
I love Ashkenaz in Berkley, Eagles Hall in Alameda (California.)
We’ve played at Eagles in Seattle. I want to play more Eagles
around the country.” Upon being asked where he’d like most
to play, he responds sadly, “They’re all closed. Richards. Hamiltons. Slims Y Ki Ki.
Don Quiotes in Santa Cruz, California.”
Today
Millers livelihood is a combination of performing and teaching.
“When I don’t have any gigs, teaching pays the
bills.” “It’s a chance to pass on the music,”
he continues. “I’ve also started doing a radio show on
KRVS-it’s called ‘La Lou Jukebox’ at 6 PM Central on
Saturdays.”
What
inspires and drives him is his passion for bringing back traditional
Cajun music and letting people know that “Cajun music is alive!
It’s happening! It’s the real thing! Come check it
out!”
“We’re
super excited to be coming out to California again,” Miller says
enthusiastically. Come experience that enthusiasm in person. Bring yo’ Momma, Daddy, Cousins, Aunts, Uncles,
your lover, neighbors and your friends. Come dance, drink, eat and
enjoy Louisiana warmth and hospitality as you join Blake Miller and the
Old-Fashioned Aces for a night you’ll always remember. Then take
a copy of their new CD “Quelle Belle Journée”
home with you so you’ll always remember the special evening you
had.

San Diego Events:
Dear Volunteers Past and Future (and the Future is Now):
I bet some of you are just too polite to ask why there's
this big push for getting volunteers to help at December Nights
(again... yes, it does come once a year). No previous
experience is needed and you do not have to be
a paid-up BTSC member to take part.
The first reason is pretty obvious
-- it's a really fun event to be involved in. It's exciting,
colorful, and a great way to meet people who love music and love to
dance. I’ve attached the schedule
so you can plan your weekend.
Not so obvious is how it helps our club and Gator by the
Bay. It's really the kickoff to the festival season and a warm up
for our big Mothers' Day weekend event. We receive significant
funding from Gator by the Bay to help pay for our dances. Our club is
committed to providing volunteer help for these two big events.
When they succeed, we succeed.
And finally, the Bon Temps Social Club's stage at
December Nights is a huge contribution to the the
event itself. Our membership in the International Dance Association in
Balboa Park allows us to use the War Memorial building for our dances
at virtually no cost. Hosting our stage at December Nights is one
way that we thank the Park for allowing us use of a dance hall.
We are asking for a 2-hour commitment and are offering you
a whole lot of fun. Time slots still available are:
December
Nights Schedule for Friday, Dec. 7
3:00pm-5:00pm
5:00-7:00
7:00-9:00
9:00-10:30
December Nights Schedule for Saturday, Dec. 8
11am-1pm
1-3
3-5
5-7
7-9
9-10:20
.
NOTE: We are also looking for volunteers to
help set up and decorate the booth Friday (Friday
Setup: This is a fairly physical job,
demanding a certain amount of creativity and a can-do attitude!
The Festival opens at 3pm on Friday, December 7th, and the booth needs
to be up and running by then)
AND/OR Help us tear it down
Saturday after the last band plays.
Sign up early (and often) so you can schedule around
your favorite bands and work a shift with your
friends. Don't hesitate any longer to let me know how you
want to help the club and Gator by the Bay. An email to
jemaxted@yahoo.com would be completely appropriate and much
appreciated!
Many Thanks!
Jan & Amy

Hi Everyone..it's a Sunday and as usual watching
my Niners look horrible, so I have time to write this..Wanted
to thank the folks who came out to hear Dikki Du and the Zydeco Krewe from
Lawtell, La..last Friday night..As
the people who came noticed, we got off to a bit of a rough start, as the
band had to do a sound check later than we planned..And
yeah it was loud at the beginning..As I've told
people many times, a sound check is 90% of the time done with nobody
in the room, due to the fact that it takes a few minutes to get the band
dialed into the room..Most of the time I don't
have a problem with the bands as I know them, but not having Dikki play
there for over 8 years. I wasn't quite sure how they sounded, and as I
said, the vast majority of the time nobody is in the room except me..So yeah, the bass was very loud, but we got it
under control as best we could and the rest of the night was ok, so
thanks for all of you who were patient enough to get it..
They sounded good
once everything calmed down and they played that Lawtell/Roy Carrier sound
that many people had no clue what it was..So
again I just wanted to thank all those who came out..and
just for the record, we had more men then women
on Friday night..For an out-of-town band!! ..So guys, I want to thank you for coming and digging
the music that we put on..
Also wanted to
clarify something..a lot
of people have asked me why I have started charging $20 bucks for
out-of-town bands and not the $18 I used to?? Well, there are many
reasons...One big one is that all the bands that I have charged this have
driven out here!! 4000 miles..Jeffrey did it,
Curley has, Blake and JImmy Breaux flew here, and
to be honest this is the cost of doing business with out-of-town bands..To put it in even more perspective, Dwaine
Dopsie is playing at Stanford next week..HE IS
PLAYING TWO SHOWS, MAYBE ONE HOUR APIECE AND IT WILL BE A SIT DOWN SHOW, NO
DANCING REALLY..FIRST SHOW IS $40 BUCKS, THEN A BREAK, THEN $35 FOR THE NEXT
ONE FOR ONE HOUR..I'm charging half that for a
DANCE where the band plays 2 1/2 hours minimum, with a great wooden dance
floor, and we just are trying to pay for the band to come out here..Simple as that..
This next Friday, we
have Andre Thierry coming in fresh off his trip back East..We'll start at the usual time or
thereabouts...Andre is the best which is why I book him once a month..
Next Sunday, we had a change in plans..Adam
Bryant for some reason couldn't make it, so we have another young accordion
guy, named Ryan Perkins..Haven't heard of him but
Ed Poullard vouches for him and Ed's word is good
enough for me..That will be a Sunday Show..Which will also be a potluck..
Then Friday the
21st, a Zydeco Christmas Party with Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble.That might be one of our last Friday shows just
to let you know..There are lots of reasons why
but Lisa and I are going to go to Sundays mostly starting in the New Year..We might do Fridays if we have to from time to
time but right now we're going to stick to Sundays.......The Jan. schedule
is also posted..
Thanks again for
coming the last week and really to all the folks who support us week in and
week out, whether it be Fridays or Sundays, I really thank you..
we hope to see you
somewhere along the Zydeco Road..
