The Rochester Cajun Zydeco Network is SUPER EXCITED to announce: Sat Nov 21, "Brandon Moreau" will be kicking up some mighty fine Cajun Music to light up the Harmony House, a gracious dancehall (circa 1899) in the village of Webster. Brandon, a revered Cajun fiddler & vocalist born & raised in Basile Louisiana, will be bringing an incredibly special set of musicians, “Rendezvous Des Amis”, to back him. For starters a Cajun flavored version of the “Henrie Brothers”, a celebrated family of string driven musicians from Middlesex NY. Adding to the mix, Betsy Terr Fuller of the fabulous Terr family, a powerhouse on rhythm guitar who’s been an ambassador for Louisiana music and culture for many years with bands like C’est Bon.
Growing up in Basile LA, Brandon was deeply influenced by the hometown hero, Cajun music legend, Dewey Balfa, whose style is core to Brandon's fiddle style and feel. In addition to Dewey Balfa, Brandon learned Cajun music from both his father Kim and grandfather Vorrance Moreau, so was influenced by their prairie style from day one.
After years of playing in Cajun bands throughout Acadiana, Brandon was drawn New Orleans to expand his musical horizons, where he’s lived and performed for over a decade. Once in NOLA playing on Bourbon Street, he formed “Brandon Moreau and CajunGrass”, working from his roots in Cajun music weaving in Honky-tonk, Swing and Bluegrass, always playfully pushing the envelope of what you’d expect.
In addition to his love of Cajun music, throughout his life Brandon immersed himself in all aspects of Cajun culture, most notably Cajun Cuisine, especially “Butter Beans” which he literally grew up on, and remains a part of his heritage he loves to share with the world.
In fact, for the Harmony House show, Brandon will be making large batches of vegetarian and meat based “Butter Beans” to share with all who attend … putting his skills as an experienced New Orleans based chef to fine use.
