you the free someone it's like way back at home it's amazing it's amazing than our culture made it across the pond [Music] [Music] it's great and then tonight with all the lights and this I feel like a like a superstore and you all [Music] didn't speak much English and there was a lady on the side of me [Music] what does SEO periodically tell you no they just said not one Benassi you know it's not something that my family really listened to they listened to country music and they listened to swamp pop a lot of swamp pop and it wasn't until I started playing Cajun music and started finding out people like Dewey Bopha and and okhta Clark and all these people and and they're you know when when you realize what an influence they have in how how special these guys are and to think that they were playing music two blocks from my house and I never like I just never went I never knew so yeah matter of fact the first time I met Christine Botha was in the grocery store I had no idea who she was I had just started playing music and were standing in line and she turns around and she says hello and I'm like hi you know we just kind of started having this conversation and she asked me she said well what do you do and I said well I'm a schoolteacher but I just I started playing music you know with a big old smile on my face and she says oh I play music too and I said really and she said yeah I said what kind of music do you play she says uh up like Cajun music that's really me too [Music] Oh [Music] I played this gig with Buffett ashore which I had no idea who Buffett is or was or who Kristine Botha was and somebody said well would you do this weekend I said are you not gonna believe this I said I got to play some music and they said well would you play with [Music] something Christine it's a we starts with a be something like that and they were like Christine bhava you got to play music with Christine bhava but I had I had no idea that she was the queen of Cajun music I just had no idea [Music] [Music] fast forward 2004 I bought myself a bass guitar and somebody said well you know there's a there's a Cajun Jam down the road at Mitch Reid's shop and my first question was who's Mitch Reid I had no idea you know who he was and I happened to pass by his store one day and I saw the cars and I said oh today's the day that they have that Jam I'm gonna go inside and I went inside and that was the first Cajun damn I had ever seen ah thank you and kind of like Robbie when he heard Sonny Landreth it changed my life I ended up three months later being hired on as the bass player with the Lafayette rhythm devil and this little tiny snowball just kind of started rolling downhill and it hasn't stopped 14 years later it just keeps going and going and going [Music] [Music] [Music] while she condone this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] and so I ended up playing bass with the Lafayette rhythm Devils and then I ended up co-founding most of our cotton which that band was nominated for a Grammy and then in 2010 I released my first CD started writing songs and released my first CD which is more along the lines of I guess you call it Americana our roots country kind of music and then another in 2012 of all original songs and then in 2014 richard como and I it was a steel guitar player we released another CD which is classic country you know some of the old Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams and Patsy Cline and and that sort of stuff just the two of us [Music] [Music] [Music] so well you know rowdy and I recorded I'm leaving it up to you the song at la Louisiane and and Beau and Richard Como and I play in a band together in my band and Richard couldn't make it one day and I asked rowdy to play a gig with me and so while we were rehearsing I don't know if you even remember this maybe you do so we were rehearsing at the house and of course I said well what do you want to sing because I mean he's riding Romero and you want right ear emeritus thing and he's so humble and he just said well why don't we do one together and so I said okay what do you want to do and he said let's do I'm leaving it up to you and we did it together and we both liked it so he said you know we should we should record that so we did we went into the studio and recorded it I'm leaving it up to you you decide what you're gonna do [Music] I was a fool in the past [Music] Madame No would last now do you Oh [Music] I got my heart in my [Music] Oh Phoebe I don't wanna stay [Music] whatever [Music] you that's why I'm leaving it up to you you what you gonna do now Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I've gotten my heart in your hand [Music] Oh baby [Music] what happened that's why I'm leaving it up to you [Music] you decide what you gonna do now - OH [Music] ah [Music] [Applause] well my main influence comes from a Cajun fiddler named Lionel allah-allah Filipino is a shred of you long but then I started to listen to Stephane Grappelli and like the jazz violin and rock and roll and one of my mentors was a saxophone player John Smith but the boogie kings so I have a big influences [Music] stuff but I also love our older Cajun influences of violin and when when you listen to these older musicians at first it sounds raw and maybe a little scratchy or whatnot but when you really pick it apart it's amazing from the accordion players to the violinists so I try to I try to mimic a lot of the accordion parts to on violin you know and not just the styles of the other fiddle players [Music] [Music] sit baby one why you treat me that way [Music] I listen to a lots of Aldous Roche and Ira Luzerne I'm with the Ardoin Guardian players like that growing up until some of the younger players came around younger I say a wing toups and Zachary Rashard and maybe people from my generation when I started listening really really hard and practicing and playing along with records slide guitar well it all started with Papa Cairo that led into some of the great steel players like Rodney Miller and then slide guitar kind of worked its way in with Sonny Landreth I first got to see him maybe when I was 15 16 years old at the Montreal Jazz Festival I was forever changed when I heard the sound that was coming out of his guitar and as soon as I heard it that's what I wanted to do and my path kind of took another turn [Music] [Music] I've had one band really I feel all of my life that's kind of evolved into The Hub City all-stars which is kind of represents what Lafayette is The Hub City [Music] [Music] [Music] no musicians have come and gone through that band and it's evolved into kind of a Louisiana roots band where we do swamp pop and we do Cajun and we do zydeco and a representation of south Louisiana we recorded a record 10 plus years ago called la Louisiana sections at a great famous studio la Louisiana right there in Lafayette we were nominated for that recording and then a couple of years ago for the record called Gulf Stream and then now we have a fantastic record and that's called Louisiana lovin with these beautiful people here so we talked about making a record that was in 2014 three and four years has passed and we still talking about we really need to get in the studio and when we were touring in Germany so I said well let's lock it down look at the calendar when are you free and so he said you know when he was free and we were all free and then I called sent dockside an email message and they had a date in January and I knew that I wanted to have my bass player in the band and I knew that I wanted to have rowdy in the band and I knew that I wanted to have Eric in the band because I wanted that swamp pop feel and I knew I wanted the the keys in there and then I had heard Jermaine prejean the drummer I didn't know who Jermaine was but as I was walking through the front gate of the blue moon I could hear this drummer playing and I remember stopping in my tracks and just listening and going who the heck is that like who is that man and that was probably in 2010 maybe and I remember thinking myself before I die I want to play music with that guy and then you know swamp pop music calls for a saxophone player and rowdy has a sax player which is you know so I basically got Roddy's bands and threw in a little bit of my band and we just kind of mixed them together and it it's a good gumbo yet with a new band called Yvette Landry and turn it off what's bad a user gray Moroccan house party bouncing ball team is going go away [Music] my baby around the waist real tight which way to the right now No what you can live in the station across the chapel a piece when again I got the booze in the crawfish episode home was that ago rocket [Applause] we are in the middle of the night in salió after the gig of a new band yeah we had decided four years ago that we wanted to record again together you know not recorded that I'm leaving it up to you song that Dale in Greece recorded in 1963 I know the song from when I was a very little kid you know let's not I had a dream me singing that song with you yeah I'm leaving it up to you who you decide you're gonna do now do you want my love oh we true that's your plan thank you very much a dream come true [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] don't
