Back by popular demand, Louisiana’s hottest Cajun band, “Bayou Roots” will entertain along with host, Jana Jae throughout the day on July 4th. Led by Chris Miller on vocals, accordion, fiddle, keys, and harmonica, this group provides great dance rhythms and a musical adventure that takes exciting and surprising turns as this group takes their audience back to the musical roots of early Creole “la-la” music and stretches forward toward the more modern sounds of Zydeco with a bluesy chromatic accordion and saxophone speaking the language of swamp-pop. Rarely has there been a Louisiana French music offering with quite the depth as this one, with everything from traditional Cajun music to several flavors of Zydeco. These exciting and energetic musicians seek to honor the roots of their music’s tradition by extending the reach of new and creative musical branches. Jana Jae, international touring star and founder of Grand Lake Festivals, Inc. will also go CAJUN when she joins Bayou Roots on stage.
Harry Worley returns as chef by popular demand cooking up favorite Cajun dishes!! This year’s menu includes Cajun sub-sandwiches, red beans and rice, chicken & sausage gumbo with rice. Mark your calendars and bring your Cajun appetites to enjoy the best Cajun cuisine this side of Louisiana.
