For the better part of the last
decade, the Lost Bayou Ramblers have pushed the borders and boundaries
of who listens to Cajun music and where the music is played.
Traditional at heart, the live sound has evolved into a fervent assault
of expression equally akin to the NYC Bowery clubs of the late 70’s as
to the prairies, bayous, and Louisiana dance halls of the 30’s, 40’s,
and 50’s. With no claims at reinventing the proverbial wheel, the band
simply strives to do what many have done over the last century: take a
rural or folk artistic expression and deliver it to the masses with a
sense of style and youthful zeal. The band has won over fans across the
United States, Canada, and Europe and are equally comfortable on the
festival stages of the National Folk Fest, New Orleans Jazz &
Heritage Festival, and the Calgary Folk Fest as they are on the
legendary club stages of the Continental Club in Austin, Tx., The Mint
in Los Angeles, Ca., or the late CBGB’s in NYC. The key to the Lost
Bayou Ramblers success is having a good time; both for the crowd and
band alike.
