Bonnie Bayou

Beloved of the legendary Bill Bailey on tour, and fresh from its sell-out Mois de la Francophonie extravaganza, Jennifer Ewan Band brings us a richly layered mix of tender, compelling original songs about Edinburgh, raucous swamp blues, and traditional Cajun dance music from the French Louisiana bayous. Jennifer’s distinctive Scots voice, often singing Cajun French lyrics, soars over old-time Cajun dance grooves, supported by an intricate interplay of accordion, flute, fiddle, bass, percussion and acoustic guitar. ‘A sassy cocktail of Cajun and modern sounds’ (Metro). ‘Reminds me of one of the best songwriters I’ve ever known’ (James Allen).
