Description

The Savoy Family Cajun Band plays honed down, hard core Cajun music laced with an earthy sensuality. Though the old tunes have been revived and returned to a new life intensity in their hands, the Savoy Family Cajun band doesn't play from a studied angle. The musicians in the band, Marc and Ann Savoy and their sons Joel and Wilson , each hold their own as strong individual group members, making up a tight intense sound.

Although the Savoy Family Cajun Band insists upon maintaining a more accoustic approach to Cajun music the band can hold its own amongst Cajun music lovers everywhere. Each member of the band can play numerous instruments and sometimes trade instruments during stage performances. Their repertoire is chosen carefully, popular dancehall tunes interspersed with soulful ballads, fiddle or vocal duets, or blues. The songs show the spectrum of Cajun life from sorrow and lost love to nonsense and the joy of dance.
