Fun on the Bayou

Here's a little clip of the Grammy winning Beausoleil band, playing at Medicine Show 14 in downtown Lafayette on Saturday night. This fabulous show, that also featured the one and only, Zachary Richard, Grammy nominated,  Feufollet, and famed,  slide-guitarist, Sonny Landreth was held in it's new venue,  the new Acacdiana Center for the Arts. The annual fundraiser, has raised over a million dollars in funds for the Tommy Comeaux Endowment for the Arts Fund, at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. It is also a tribute to the late Dr. Tommy Comeaux. It was a blast! Sorry it's so short, but the camera's batteries died! C'est la vie!
