Let’s Rendezvous May 9th to some French Creole music! Sponsored this year by United Country-Salem Realty, the 6pm concert at the Rendezvous is FREE this year!! No ticket needed. Thank you Babbette Wells and her team in Salem!
Hidden Away in the Ozarks of southern Illinois, Indiana and Missouri is a music and culture often compared to the Joie de Vivre of Quebec and the Fais Do Do's of Louisiana, but it stands alone, still thriving 300 years in existence. Led by its ambassador Dennis Stroughmatt, L'Esprit Creole brings you the sights, stories and sounds of the French Creole Music.
Fingers and bow flying, Dennis Stroughmatt takes listeners on a musical odyssey not so different from his own musical journeys into Upper Louisiana Creole Culture. Taught to play fiddle by local Creole fiddlers Roy Boyer and Charlie Pashia in the tradition of their fathers, Dennis gradually became an adopted son of the French Midwest Creoles living along the Mississippi River near St Louis. A vibrant blend of Celtic, Canadian and Old Time sounds, this music bridges the gap between contemporary Canadian and Louisiana Cajun styles. Preserved by families in the Ozark foothills, the music remains largely intact and true to the traditions that have been passed down for over three centuries.
Dennis Stroughmatt will take the stage with his fiddle and band at 6pm. Bring your lawn chair and dress weather appropriate for an evening of music on the lawn at Big Rock Candy Mountain, Jadwin, Mo.
