Horace Trahan & the Ossun Express

Horace Trahan is a world renowned Cajun and Zydeco artist, respected for his ability to “pull the hell” out of an accordion and belt out powerful vocals. He is known as the creator of the much-covered zyde-cajun classic, “That Butt Thing”, and no stranger to controversy when, in the middle of a successful career in the early 2000s, he defied stereotypes and switched his focus from Cajun to zydeco music---something relatively unheard of in his Louisiana Cajun community at the time. Horace began playing the accordion at 15, and by 18 he was on the road touring with the great D.L. Menard. These days, Horace Trahan and the Ossun Express is known as a quintessential zydeco dancers’ band, playing not only tunes that are a joy to dance to, but are musically sophisticated as well.

Blake Miller & the Old Fashioned Aces

Blake Miller & the Old Fashioned Aces are breathing new life into an old sound. It’s traditional Cajun music in a traditional setting, but more than that, it’s a powerhouse trio having fun. Whether they appear as an acoustic trio or a full electric band, finer musicians playing Cajun music cannot be found. In a world where it seems everyone is continually stretching the boundaries of Louisiana French music, the Aces nest comfortably inside the well worn tracks of Cajun Music. From old fiddle tunes, to classic dance floor packers, to bilingual country classics, their music is comfort food for the Cajun music fan. oldfashionedaces.com
