About the Artists
Lost Bayou Ramblers
Lost Bayou Ramblers’ evolution as a Cajun band continues to excite, challenge, and redefine both genre expectations as well as cultural preconceptions. 2017 brought the release of KALENDA, the band’s second Grammy nominated album. Produced by Korey Richey, their 8th lp has received rave reviews across the music world, including features on KEXP and WXPN’s World Cafe. The bands’ performance, produced by JACK WHITE, on the 2017 documentary series and record release, AMERICAN EPIC, solidifies Lost Bayou Ramblers’ international reputation as a traditional (while extremely progressive) Cajun band. With an upcoming original score for ROUS, a world-class film about Nutria Rats and Louisiana’s coastal land lossw, and past score contributions to the Oscar Nominated Film BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, and support slots with ARCADE FIRE and VIOLENT FEMMES , Lost Bayou continues to swing wide from their Louisiana home base.
“The Grammy-nominated group plays a revved-up version of Cajun music, shot through with punk energy and psychedelic fuzz”
