Lafayette -- Their style is deeply rooted in traditional Cajun music. The lyrics are in sung in French. But there is a youthful energy, and a new twist on a familiar sound.
“We love what south Louisiana has to offer, we love the French language. We just choose it, we choose to take it and make of it what we feel in our hearts,” says Anna Laura Edmiston.
Edmiston, who grew up in both French-speaking Canada and Cajun Louisiana, is a singer-songwriter with the Lafayette band Feufollet. Although the band members are in their mid-20’s, the group actually formed 15 years ago when the three original members were in grade school. They are Chris Stafford, who plays guitar, fiddle and accordion, drummer Michael Stafford and fiddler Chris Segura.
