Two of the finest roots music fiddle players on the planet—Michael Doucet and Tom Rigney— are joining forces for a series of live performances on the West Coast. Backed by Rigney’s hot band, Flambeau, the shows will feature material from 2016’s critically acclaimed CD, Cajun Fandango, and the soon to be released new collaboration, Roll On.
The live repertoire is an eclectic mix of Roots Music styles—Cajun, Blues, New Orleans—some original and some traditional. The band cooks up a storm, the grooves are guaranteed to get you up off the couch, and Doucet and Rigney tear it up in a spontaneous, virtuosic, deeply musical, and completely irresistible way. The rich sound of the two violins and the spectacular interplay of these two Roots Music masters provide a unique sound and an unforgettable listening (and dancing) experience.
