Bayou Cadillac
Bayou Cadillac features accordions, fiddles, guitars and more in a fun-filled gumbo of Cajun, Rockin' Zydeco, Country-Blues, Jug Band and other musical styles, drawing on traditional, contemporary and original sources.
Featured on the accordion is the heart and soul of the band, Northwest mainstay, Sam Bernardi. Weaving unrivalled melodies and harmonies on the fiddle is the ever-popular veteran virtuoso, Chip cohen. Distinctive guitar stylist, Walter Cryderman, contributes chunky rhythms and slinky lead work, while the rock-solid bass work of Mark French rounds out the sound.
