HARDWICK – The Cajun band, Pointe Noir, will perform May 22, at Atkins Field, for listening and dancing beginning at 7 p.m.
The band finds its rhythm deeply rooted in Southwest Louisiana. Cannon Labrie (accordion) is a long-time Cajun and Zydeco player who also plays with Yankee Chank and Planet Zydeco. Katie Trautz (fiddle) and Chris Hollis (guitar) are old-time players who drifted south to learn the musical traditions there.
Jay Ekis (guitar) plays everything from Cajun music, to indie folk and heavy metal. Noah Hahn (bass) has played all over Vermont and beyond in Cajun and honky-tonk bands. He currently plays with Ernest James Zydeco. Michael Bradshaw (drums) can be heard behind the Zydeco sound of Mango Jam, Vermont surf rockers Barbacoa, and many more.
Admission is free or by donation. Food and drink may be purchased on site.
