Live Music Schedule

Legendary singer, guitarist, producer, and author Ann Savoy makes a special appearance at the Hideaway Hall on Tuesday evening. The concert will be filmed for a project in collaboration with Smithsonian Folkways. Along with her material, Savoy will perform a mix of traditional Appalachian tunes, blues standards, and classics from the 60s folk-rock era.
 
Savoy moved to South Louisiana from Virginia and married accordion maker Marc Savoy in the mid-1970s. Since then, she has devoted herself to preserving Cajun culture and music. With her husband, the renowned musician toured the world with fiddler Michael Doucet and released several albums of Cajun music, jazz, and Americana. She recently released Cajun Music: A Reflection of a People Vol: II, the highly anticipated follow-up to her acclaimed book.
 
This Lafayette Weekly Playlist is packed with a diverse mix of acoustic folk, Cajun music, electric blues, roots rock, and zydeco. “Been Gone Awhile” by Johanna Divine, Lil’ Nathan and Nathan Williams’ live collaboration “Zydeco Road,” and Luther Dickinson’s take on “Dreamer” by the Lil Band of Gold are all included. The latest single by K.C. Jones, modern Latin sounds by Malentina, and a mix of tracks from Ann Savoy’s eclectic discography is also in this week’s mix.
