Red Stick Ramblers bring Cajun tunes Oct. 15
by Pinedale Fine Arts Council release
October 4, 2010
The Pinedale Fine Arts Council is proud to present The Red Stick Ramblers performing live Friday, October 15 at 7:00 p.m. in the Pinedale Auditorium.
Hard driving, witty, eclectic, and honest, the music of the Red Stick Ramblers is inseparable from their way of life and the rich Louisiana culture that first inspired them. Their fifth album, My Suitcase Is Always Packed, is as much a travelogue as a sound recording, complete with audio snapshots of relentless all-night dances, laid back campfire sessions, dusty honky-tonks, and raucous family reunions. It is the fullest flowering so far of the Ramblers' unique hybrid of Cajun, country, string band, and swing. The Red Stick Ramblers stand at the very forefront of a new generation of Louisiana roots musicians who are reinventing their tradition while remaining deeply aware of their heritage.
"We live pretty fast and hard," confesses Red Stick Ramblers fiddler and vocalist Linzay Young. "We live life to its fullest. Then we pour that into our songwriting and our music, and take it with us wherever we go."
In addition to their October 15 performance, members of the Red Stick Ramblers will host a free Cajun cooking demo followed by an acoustic guitar workshop on Thursday, Oct. 14 beginning at 6:00 pm in the Sublette County Library Lovatt Room. Please call 307-367-7322 to sign-up for the demo/workshop! More info on our website at www.pinedalefinearts.com.
