The Rochester Cajun Zydeco Network is SUPER EXCITED to announce: Sat Nov 21, "Brandon Moreau et Redezvous Des Amis" will be kicking up some mighty fine Cajun Music to light up the Harmony House, a gracious dancehall (circa 1899) in Webster NY.
Brandon Moreau, a revered Cajun fiddler & vocalist born & raised in Basile, Louisiana, is teaming up with the “Cajun flavored Henrie Brothers”, a celebrated family of string driven musicians from Middlesex NY. Musically whatever the Henries touch turns to gold. As a Cajun band the Henries will both hit core veins of the genre and take dancers on 2-steps and waltzes they never imagined.
Adding to the mix, Betsy Terr Fuller of the fabulous Terr family, a powerhouse on rhythm guitar who’s been an ambassador for Louisiana music and culture for many years with bands like C’est Bon.
Together with Brandon & Rendezvous Des Amis will inspire folks to dance your 2-steps deep into the night.

BAND BIO
Growing up in Basile, Brandon was deeply influenced by the hometown hero, Cajun music legend, Dewey Balfa, whose style is core to Brandon's fiddle style and feel. After years of playing in Cajun bands throughout Acadiana, Brandon was drawn New Orleans to expand his musical horizons, where he’s lived and performed for over a decade. Once in NOLA playing on Bourbon Street, he formed “Brandon Moreau and CajunGrass”, working from his roots in Cajun music weaving in Honky-tonk, Swing and Bluegrass, pushing the envelope of what’s the norm.
The Cajun Flavored Henrie Brothers from Middlesex NY, may be off the radar in the Cajun music world, they are a household name in the music currents of Upstate New York and beyond. Of the Henrie Brothers, Bobby Henrie is the most well-known, launching Bobby Henrie and the Goners in 1985, a rockabilly trio exploring all kinds of vintage rock n’ roll, swing and everything in between.
Musically whatever the Henries touch turns to gold. As a Cajun band the Henries will both hit core veins of the genre and take dancers on 2-steps and waltzes they never imagined.
