BeauSoleil
"That's my kind of music!" - Bob Dylan, upon listening to BeauSoleil during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
“The remarkable thing about Cajun revivalists BeauSoleil is that...they are still inviting us to ask what’s new. BeauSoleil isn’t neo-anything. This ensemble finds freshness not by infusing vintage styles with contemporary sonics but with vibrant, thoughtful fusions.” – The Boston Globe (January 2009)
“Cajun music purists admire the fiddler Michael Doucet's informed command of traditional Cajun music, while those who just want to party surrender to Beausoleil and boogie to classic Cajun two-steps, reels and a host of other rhythmic influences that have made this Grammy- winning Crescent City outfit one of the most colorful roots bands on the scene. Bon temps, every time they play.” - The New York Times (2001)
