We are very excited to announce the release of our 20th anniversary retrospective compliation CD Prends Courage. The 20 song disc will be available for purchase at our shows and through our online store on Friday, October 11. Three new songs will be included on the album including a new composition by Kelli Jones entitled “Going Fast”, a cover Johnny Sonnier’s “Dans le magasin”, and an unreleased track by Anna Laura Edmiston. Also in celebration of this milestone we were invited by Festivals Acadiens et Créoles to perform a special set this year with several past members joining us on stage.

We’re so pumped to start off the new year with the news of receiving several Best of the Beat nominations from OffBeat Magazine. The band is up for Best Cajun Artist and Kelli Jones is nominated for Best Fiddler. Travailler C’est Trop Dur, an album produced by Chris Stafford and Barry Ancelet is in the Best Cajun Album category. 

Chris Stafford was recently interviewed by Dan Willging for a feature in OffBeat Magazine. Check it out here!

Chris also recently co-produced and engineered a project by Festivals Acadiens et Créoles. The double album is a collection of re-recordings of ancient French songs sung by a farmer from Meaux, Louisiana named Caesar Vincent. Feufollet contributed a track entitled “L’école du roi”.

We look forward to seeing y’all in 2019! Joyeux Noêl et Bonne Année!

It’s always nice to be recognized by our cousins in New Orleans. We’ve been nominated for two Best of the Beat Awards by OffBeat Magazine- Best Cajun Artist and Best Cajun Album. Dan Wilging recently wrote a review for OffBeat of our latest release, “Baby’s on Fire.” Here’s what he had to say.

“Ah, vinyl—it once followed the footpath of dinosaurs, at least until club DJs spun it into hipster status and resurrected it from near extinction. Hence, the inspiration for Feufollet and Valcour Records’ debut 45, a random colored 7” vinyl.

‘Baby’s On Fire,’ the A side, takes Brian Eno’s iconic classic and applies jaunty Keith Frank accordion stylings on top of thrusty rhythms and layers of twangy guitars, fiddles and organ all skanking along. The B side “Clair de la lune” was first written and recorded by a 20-year-old Vin Bruce for Columbia Records in 1952. Compared to the original, Feufollet’s version is considerably more souped up and basks in a grandiose, mystical aura. Kelli Jones-Savoy’s high vocals lead the charge while the arrangement climaxes with Andrew Toups’ space-traveling cosmic keyboard ride. Midway through, Feufollet modulates keys, thereby injecting more energy and life into one of Bruce’s career-defining originals. If there were ever two songs that captured the essence of Feufollet, these would be them.”

Inspired by the recent stream of DJs in New Orleans spinning 45s of Louisiana music’s timeless standards, Feufollet has created a soon to be jukebox classic.  Brian Eno’s “Baby’s On Fire” gets a psychedelic, nouveau zydeco makeover, à la Keith Frank. Side B takes the vintage “Clair de la lune”, written by Cajun legend Vin Bruce, into a new wave second line two-step to complete the voyage into their cosmic Cajun dance land.
