Series: Deep in the South

Fronted by the twin fiddles of Linzay Young and Kevin Wimmer, Louisiana's Red Stick Ramblers meld the sounds of Cajun, western swing and gypsy jazz, delivering wisely constructed, high-energy southern dancehall music. Rich vocals, intense musicality and a swinging backbeat put the Ramblers at the center of today's Cajun music renaissance, a musical style reaching its highest point in popularity since Beausoleil's heyday in the 1980s. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes.

"In one set, the band can switch from Cajun to blues to Western swing to old-time, and never seem as if they're pretending. They also sound like they're having a blast." - New Haven Advocate
