Although Feufollet has often been hailed as the future of Cajun music, a more current assessment must admit that they are now the present of Cajun music. Once idolized at at early age for their precocious musicianship and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Acadianas cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young adults. While Feufollet remains central to the neotraditionalist brush fire they helped ignite as youths, their latest album finds the band coming into its own and pushing the envelope, leading the way once again as Cajun Music extends itself into a new century.
Formed in 1995 when accordionist/singer Chris Stafford was 8 and fiddler Chris Segura was 11, Feufollet quickly developed a following in Acadiana, not merely for their youthful energy but also for their surprising musical maturity and instrumental expertise in the traditional music of the Cajun Culture.
Feufollet continues to be known for excellent musicianship, beautiful vocals, and innovation based on a solid grasp of the tradition, making them one of the most exciting Cajun bands in Southwest Louisiana.
Over the course of the 10 plus years that they has been performing and recording, they have built upon their regional popularity, delighting audiences of all ages at folk festivals and performance venues throughout the United States and French Canada.
Feufollet can also be booked as part of Eye for Talent’s celebration of Cajun/Zydeco music, Fête de Louisiane!, along with Grammy-nominated Creole musician, Cedric Watson and his band Bijou Creole.

Don’t listen to the goof balls that say no. Lots of places. One of my favorites is a place called Liuzza’s. Its a combo barroom, restaurant. There’s one in Mid-city, 3636 Bienville St., from downtown go down Canal Blvd. and off Jefferson Davis Pkwy, take a left on Bienville. It’s across from Mercy Hospital. Great shrimp and oyster boats, frosted root beer mugs and great crayfish dishes. Like mama used to make.
There’s another Liuzza’s (I think different owner and everything) but I’ve eaten at it. Its on 1518 N. Lopez and it is a small corner barroom with tables but great red beans and rice and gumbo and just about anything else they serve is good. I ended up eating at the bar because tables are at a premium. Its in the Esplanade neighborhood and its real hard to park because its all street parking in a neighborhood so go there early for lunch. Frommer’s had a write up on them too and liked it. So much like home cooking from the River Road. But shusssh! Don’t tell anybody else cause we don’t want it to get so bad we can’t ever get in there anymore.
There’s lots of places in town to eat that aren’t chains. The Gumbo Shop is great and don’t forget to get your coffee and beignets at cafe du monde where you better cover up or you and the kids end up with powdered sugar on everything!!
There is also Mother’s for great poyboys for good prices and that’s down near the foot of canal street closer to the river at 401 poydras street.
These are the less expensive options. There are plenty of well-touted cajun restaurants in the City but beware of those that cater to tourist because they charge big bucks for not so genuine food.
