The Cedar is very excited to welcome 2x Grammy winning Cajun band Lost Bayou Ramblers with an opening set by Ethno USA on the Road band.“The Grammy-winning group plays a revved-up version of Cajun music, shot through with punk energy and psychedelic fuzz.” - World Café

Lost Bayou Ramblers evolution as a Grammy winning Cajun band continues to excite, challenge, and redefine both genre expectations as well as cultural preconceptions.

Founded in 1999 by brothers Andre and Louis Michot, the last 7 years have brought Lost Bayou Ramblers a feature on Jack White’s American Epic, score contributions to the Oscar nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild, a Grammy award for their album "Kalenda" and tours with both Arcade Fire and the Violent Femmes. LBR's 8th album, KALENDA, produced by Korey Richey (LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire) gave the band the title of "one of the most vital voices in contemporary Louisiana" and was awarded a Grammy for Best Regional Roots album in 2018.

Lost 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.

Ethno is a global folk music movement, established in Sweden in 1990, that now spans 45 countries worldwide. Every year, it brings together young musicians to connect, collaborate, and thrive in an environment of openness and respect for all peoples and cultures. For the past five years, Ethno USA has gathered over 30 talented young folk musicians from more than 20 countries for an 11-day residency in North Carolina. During this residency, participants share the songs and music of their cultures, culminating in prestigious performances at the North Carolina Folk Festival.

Now, for the first time ever, Ethno USA will be hitting the road to spread its infectious vibe in the Twin Cities area! Get ready for an incredible nine-piece Ethno USA ensemble featuring musicians from diverse international cultures, including India, Norway and Haiti. Alongside U.S. based musicians from Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, and the nations of Lumbee, Ojibwe, and Oglala Lakota, the ensemble will form "Ethno USA On The Road"—a global music journey with rich harmonies, authentic arrangements, and a unique blend of world cultures.
