SUMMARY:Concert Series: Lost Bayou Ramblers
DESCRIPTION:The two-time Grammy award winning Lost Bayou Ramblers’ evolution as a progressive Louisiana French band rooted in Cajun traditions continues to excite\, challenge\, and redefine both genre expectations as well as cultural preconceptions. \nFounded in 1999 by brothers Andre and Louis Michot\, the years have brought LBR a feature on Jack White’s American Epic\, contributions to the Oscar nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild\, and Grammy wins for Live: Orpheum Theater NOLA (their 2023 album with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra) and their 2017 studio album Kalenda. \nLost Bayou Ramblers stands at the crosscurrents of Louisiana culture by inhabiting the gray area between Cajun and Creole\, convention and innovation\, mystery and a revelation\, experimenting and growing the show to what it’s become today: an eclectic mix of modern sounds and rhythms with ancient Cajun melodies and lyrics. \n\nThe 2025-2026 Concert Series is supported in part by John H. Dean DDS and Mary Ann Coleman\, Mimi San Pedro\, Olivia Farrell\, and Susan Conley. \nPhoto by Zach Smith.
