Cajun Stripper Doug Kershaw Seattle Reunion

On Jan.16th 2008 Doug Kershaw came to Seattle for a reunion show co-ordinated by Eric Apoe and Pat Hewitt, with Doug's extended band that hailed from Seattle in the '70's and 80's. The show was at Seattle Triple Door Club. This will be the 1st video from that show of one of America's foremost Folk Music legends. From left to right the band members are John Balmer Piano, Al Kaatz Guitar, Pat Hewitt Super 400 Guitar,Annie Rose DeArmas Guitar/Vocal,Greg Loeb (California) Bass,Marty Vadalebene Drums, Doug Kershaw, Bill Shaw Drums, Max Paul Schwennsen Guitar (band leader and reason for all of us playing with Doug) Pete Pendras. Eric Apoe is another alternate Drummer (not in this Video) and Brian Smith Bass on one song, and of course Don Dodge Stage manager. There were also other players during those years....Ritchie ??? (Bass player who started with Max in 1974),Bruce Hewes bass, and songwriter Bill Carter Bass. We were the Cajun Army Corp, The Seattle Ana Men...and Women.....

Wow that was awesome Cajun music. I was born and raised in Doug's part of south Louisiana. I last saw him in Bunkie Louisiana back in the early 80's. Grew up listening to Rusty & Doug. He is a natural born Cajun with the perfect accent. I see he is still kicking at 84. Live long Doug

I have loved Kershaw since the first time I heard him and it will never change

Love Doug Kershaw. Such talent and energy.

In early 70's the Ragin Cajun played at a park's summer music program. He performed on (and off and all over) a small stage attached to a camper! No telling how many fiddle strings he went thru that evening :) .One of the best shows I've ever seen...loved him then & still do. There's only ONE Cajun that can do music like he does!

We saw Doug Keyshawn at Liberty Hall in Houston in 1975, it was Keyshawn early days before he was famous. Loved him ever since.

Kershaw not keyshawn

[@johngage856]

Doug and his brother Rusty were quite successful before either brother was even 20 years old, and Doug was already wildly popular in 1969.
