Le Gran Fromage w/ Boo Bradley - $6

Friday, May 3, 2013

Laying heavily on the traditional recipe of accordion, fiddle and rhythm, Le Gran Fromage purvey a simple unvarnished version of the Cajun dance canon. The trio are Prairie Bayou\'s Katie Ping on fiddle; lead fiddler for the Cajun Strangers, Brian O\'Donnell on accordion and fiddle; and Southwest Louisiana native (and Cajun Stranger himself) Scott Kiker on guitar and vocals. Come sit by the front porch at Mother Fool\'s to be warmed by the bayou music of Southwest Louisiana...without all the mosquitos and alligators!

Boo Bradley is Madison\'s amazing one-human jugband medicine show featuring Scott \"Boo\" Kiker pumping out deep ragtime blues on a unique ensemble of old car horns, bells, a beat up guitar made of steel, kazoo, high-hat, an old parade drum and a tamborine...all at once! As the Onion A.V. puts it, \"During the warmer months, Boo\'s performances are a favorite on State Street and at the Dane County Farmers\' Market. Thanks to his feel for the sonic quirks of the National Resophonic steel guitar, Boo Bradley is as warm and fun as bluesy acts come these days\".
