Louisiana's Finest
License Plate design by Daniel Sanda

Louisiana'a finest Grammy-Nominated Pine Leaf Boys have made a name for presenting their own inimitable brand of Cajun music with youthful exuberance. Hailing from the southwest Louisiana, the Pine Leaf Boys, known for their wild shows and thoughtful arrangements, have breathed new life into Cajun music, reviving ancient songs and bringing them to the bandstand. Being described as, "... the link that connects the young and the old generations," and, "the best new, energetic, and fun Cajun band in a very long time," the Pine Leaf Boys play the old fashion dance hall standards while making a priority to bring many of the more obscure songs of past masters into their repertoire and play them with gusto. The variety and energy they release evolves through their shows, bringing multi-faceted angles to Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco. Their mission is to present the awesome music of their ancestors and present the real Cajun music to the world and prove that it is still thriving and full of life.

Steeped in music since children and hailing from farms and towns in Cajun country, the Pine Leaf Boys have preserved the traditional Cajun sound, while allowing it to breathe and stretch with those who play it. They present their music in multiple configurations such a twin fiddle, duo accordion/fiddle, bass, drum, and foot-stomping jurés. see our list of some of our past performances

*Grammy Nominated for Best Cajun/Zydeco Album of 2007

Francais"En provenance de Lafayette en Louisiane, les cinq jeunes multi-instrumentistes qui forment les Pine Leaf Boys bousculent avec un bonheur communicatif la musique cajun et créole. Au fil des pièces aux mélodies traditionnelles s'installe un climat propice à la danse; qu'il s'agisse de compositions originales ou d'hommages à la musique de leurs aînés, les Pine Leaf Boys nous démontrent que le talent n'est pas une affaire d'âge. Laissez les bons temps rouler!" Ils ont bâti leur réputation en présentant un mélange tout particulier de musique cajun et créole. Leur exubérance de la jeunesse et leur originalité bouillonnante en ont fait un groupe à part dans le monde de la musique traditionnelle du sud de la Louisiane. Véritables virtuoses, il leur arrive régulièrement de s'échanger leurs instruments sur scène. Pas étonnant qu'ils se soient récemment produits au célèbre Tipitina's de New Orleans: "Si nous n'étions pas sur scène, nous serions ensemble chez nous sur le perron entre train de faire un jam!" - traduit par monsieur André Muise!

Les Pine Leaf Boys (Les Garçons de Feuille de Pin) se sont faits une réputation en présentant leur mélange inimitable de musique cajun et créole traditionnelle avec une exubérance remplie de jeunesse. Outre les grands classiques des salles de danse, ils se sont évertués à intégrer dans leur répertoire les chansons plus obscures de leurs aïeux et les jouer avec brio. - traduit par Alexandra Gerard
