Joli Blon, who take their name from a much loved Cajun waltz, play traditional dance music from Louisiana: a riotous mix of red-hot accordion, rip-roaring fiddle and gutsy, driving guitar. Stomping, hypnotic two-steps, mournful waltzes telling of heartache and despair so sad they make you happy, and a bit of blues – all sung in Cajun French and brought to you by a core trio of women.
From their core trio to a full band of five with drums and percussion, Joli Blon has experience of a broad range of venues, playing parties and festivals from Red Rooster to Glastonbury (Croissant Neuf) in the UK, as well as dates in the Netherlands, Ireland, and Louisiana.
