They are a combustible combination.\u00a0 Kelli Jones-Savoy joins them with equally compelling vocals, fiddle and guitar.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Fiddler Joel Savoy has been a driving force in the Cajun renaissance of the new millennium. Founder of the multi-GRAMMY-nominated label Valcour Records and the acclaimed Red Stick Ramblers, Savoy is equally at home playing the old twin-fiddling of Cajun masters like Dennis McGee, as he is playing swing or honky tonk.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the stage with him is Cajun legend Jesse L\u00e9ge on accordion and vocals. A genius on the Cajun accordion and a wonderful singer, Jesse has won every award a Cajun musician can win from the Cajun French Music Association. He was recently inducted into the Cajun Music Hall of Fame, and he&#8217;s written songs that have become standards in the traditional repertoire, perhaps an artist&#8217;s greatest aspiration in traditional folk music.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Lege and Joel Savoy have partnered on a number of projects including Cajun Country Revival &#8220;putting the Country back in Cajun music.&#8221;\u00a0 In their debut release, Jesse L\u00e9ge, Joel Savoy &amp; The Cajun Country Revival dug into the deep roots of Cajun music, looking not only for beautiful, rare songs, but also for a commonality between the rural dancehalls of Louisiana and the honky-tonks of East Texas.<\/p>\n<p>General admission is $18 and $16 for EOH members and students are discounted to $13.\u00a0 Premium seating in the first 4 rows is an added $5.
