Yankee Chank in Concert

Past event
Jul 17, 2024, 6 PM

The Town of Cavendish will present the next in its continuing series of Wednesday evening concerts at 6 p.m. on July 17; local favorite Yankee Chank will appear on the Svec Memorial Green in Proctorsville.

Yankee Chank is a Vermont group that performs traditional Cajun music from the heart of southwest Louisiana. The French-speaking people of eastern Canada, our immediate neighbor to the north, were the inspiration for the southern Cajuns and, thereby, Yankee Chank. The band has been performing Cajun and Zydeco music, using fiddle, accordion, guitar and bass, around Vermont and beyond since 1996, providing a distinctive immersion into this unique regional music.

This concert is sponsored by Murdock's on the Green Restaurant.

The Cavendish Community and Conservation Association coordinates all concerts, which are free and open to the public, on behalf of the town. Bring a blanket or a chair, as well as a picnic dinner, if desired. Join up with friends or make new ones. Murdock's Restaurant will be open for dining that evening as usual. They also offer takeout, as does Singleton's General Store. Goodman's American Pie will make a reappearance with its Pizza Mobile too. Please support your local businesses and help to continue this Wednesday evening tradition in Proctorsville.
