Since 2003, the Savannah Music Festival has grown a music education program that is unlike that of any arts organization in the region. It is rooted in our belief that the arts are fundamental to the cognitive, affective, physical and intellectual development of all children. These programs reach more than 20,000 youth each year throughout Savannah and the surrounding five counties.

Friday, March 29 > Cajun Dance Party: Red Stick Ramblers

 
Cajun Dance Party: Red Stick Ramblers

About the performance

The new and improved Red Stick Ramblers, including fiddle and accordion player Blake Miller, hold true to the band's original concept to focus on the nuanced yet raucous spirit of the "Cajun" music of southwest Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Their entirely unique sound blends Cajun waltzes and two steps with western swing and even rockabilly, and has recently brought them to the international stage through TV appearances on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations and HBO's acclaimed Treme. Led by founding member Linzay Young, lauded as the "Cajun Frank Sinatra," the Red Stick Ramblers have been at the forefront of the Cajun music renaissance for more than a decade with their dedication to honky-tonk and dancehall music.
