Bayou Seco
Resume
Ken Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie, aka Bayou Seco, have spent a lifetime soaking up the traditional music of Louisiana, New Mexico and Arizona. Using a simple line up of fiddle, accordion, banjo and guitar they take their audience on a musical odyssey through the American southwest, performing and reinvigorating long forgotten songs and dances with wit, warmth and style. Their love-affair with the folk traditions of the southwest has already lasted thirty years, and it’s still going strong. On This tour they will be a trio, joined by their talented godson Tomas Wentz on fiddle, guitar and vocals. Tomas is already known in the USA for his work with his band GROG.
