The Pine Leaf Boys play traditional, home-grown Cajun and Creole music from south Louisiana, rocking both dance hall and concert settings. Each member of the band has played nearly since a child, each speak French. They play music because they love it, and this is evident in their shows, and as Wilson says, "If we weren't doing it over there on stage, we'd be right at home on our front porch jamming together every night."
All five members, in their early 20s, live together in the same shotgun house near downtown Lafayette.
Wilson Savoy - accordion - vocals on 1, 4, 5, 7 & 13 - fiddle on 8; Cedric Watson - fiddle - vocals on 3, 7, 10 & 12; Drew Simon - drums - vocals on 2, 6, 9, 11 & 14 - guitar on 6 & 9; Jon Bertrand - guitars; Blake Miller - bass - second-fiddle on 2 & 11

REVIEW

“La Musique's 14 cuts perfectly capture their spirit.... Their looseness comes across as effortless talent as they switch up duties and play what can best be described as rollicking back-porch music. With the subtle changes in their style and the three vocalists' distinct sounds, the album never lags as it crackles along, recorded on analog. It's remarkably adherent to old styles, with its roots running deep, yet it is incredibly fresh and resoundingly vibrant.”

(Nick Pittman — Times of Acadiana)
