Cajun Night: Michael Doucet and Tom Rigney with Flambeau

This concert is a collaboration conceived of in Cajun heaven. With two Grammy wins and a National Heritage Fellowship from the NEA, Michael Doucet (of Beausoleil fame) has been recognized as the premier Cajun fiddle player, preserving the music of his culture while expanding its horizons. Northern California’s Tom Rigney has, over the past several decades, become one of the premier blues and roots music violinists in the world. Tom brings his band Flambeau to perform selections from Cajun Fandango, which features both Doucet and Rigney in an eclectic mix of roots music styles: Cajun two-steps, waltzes, and rocking blues tunes—all played with spontaneity and fire.
