The Pine Leaf Boys

The Pine Leaf Boys perform a set of Cajun music for the 2020 Natchitoches NSU Virtual Folk Festival. The Pine Leaf Boys are an authentic Cajun and Creole band from southwest Louisiana. Four of their albums have been nominated for Grammy awards in the category for Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album. Described in the New York Times as, “… the link that connects the young and the old generations,” and, “the best new, energetic, and fun Cajun band in a very long time,” the Pine Leaf Boys play old fashioned dance hall standards while making a priority to bring many of the more obscure songs of past masters into their repertoire and play them with gusto. Their mission is to prove to the world that Cajun music is still vibrant and full of life while also bringing a new spark to it.
