Celebrate Mardi Gras time with some Cajun grooves from Pointe Noir! Brocklebank beer will be available.
Pointe Noir finds its rhythm deeply rooted in Southwest Louisiana. Cannon Labrie (accordion) is a long-time Cajun and Zydeco player who also plays with Yankee Chank and Planet Zydeco. Katie Trautz (fiddle) and Chris Hollis (guitar) are seasoned old-time players who eventually drifted south to the bayou to learn the musical traditions there. Helen Doyle (bass) has never been anywhere near Louisiana and is pleasantly surprised to be in a Cajun band. Christiana Athena-Blackwell (drums) is a musician/teacher/ethnomusicologist who co-founded "School of Honk" a New Orleans street-band/community-music-school in Boston. Walker Blackwell (triangle) grew up surrounded by Cajun and traditional music his entire life and performed with The Clayfoot Strutters for many years.
