The Creole Belles are distinguished by the high-energy, traditional fiddle
style of Delilah, who has been playing Cajun music for the 27 years, and has
studied with many of the great Cajun and Creole musicians including Denis
McGee, Canray Fontenot and Alphonse "Bois Sec" Ardoin, Dewey Balfa, and
Michael Doucet.
In 1995, she joined with accordionist Maureen Karpan and established
musicians Karen Leigh and Karen Celia Heil to bring the traditional sounds
of Creole music to Cajun and zydeco fans in the Bay Area. With fiddle and
accordion fronting the band and upright bass, rubboard and guitar providing
solid rhythm, they entertain crowds with traditional, down home Cajun and
Creole dance music.
Special guest Andrew Carrière comes from a long line of traditional Creole
musicians. The son of Bébé Carrière, he was raised in Louisiana, and
brought his formidable musical background to California, where he now
resides.
Creole Belles is their first album.
