Dennis Stroughmatt and the Creole Stomp

Saturday February 8, 2020

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with our favorite Cajun-Creole honkytonk party band: Dennis Stroughmatt & Creole Stomp. Led by renowned French-speaking accordionist and fiddler Dennis Stroughmatt, the band plays everything from two-steps and waltzes to Creole baisse-bas and Zydeco, and leaves audiences breathless and cheering for more.

Fingers and bow flying, Dennis Stroughmatt takes listeners on a musical odyssey not so different from his own musical journeys into Upper Louisiana Creole Culture. Taught to play fiddle by local Creole fiddlers Roy Boyer and Charlie Pashia in the tradition of their fathers, Dennis gradually became an adopted son of the French Midwest Creoles living along the Mississippi River near St Louis.

A vibrant blend of Celtic, Canadian and Old Time sounds, this music bridges the gap between contemporary Canadian and Louisiana Cajun styles. Preserved by families in the Ozark foothills, the music remains largely intact and true to the traditions that have been passed down for over three centuries.
