The Lafayette Rhythm Devils come straight from Lafayette, Louisiana, with a brand of Cajun dance music that would have been right at home in the local dance halls 100 years ago. Featuring the lead singing of accordion player Kristi Guillory and guitarist Randy Vidrine and the outstanding fiddling of Chris Segura, the fiery quintet lays down a highly rhythmic groove that’s guaranteed to get the feet moving. The band—which has three albums to its credit, Pray for Us, Runnin’ and Les Clefs de la Prison—is deeply rooted in the Cajun culture and music of southern Louisiana and is committed to preserving the authentic sound and feel of the old-style dance music. From Randol’s Restaurant in Lafayette to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival to stages around the country, the Lafayette Rhythm Devils “roar mightily… a perfect blend of full tonality, expressive playing and impeccable timing” (Offbeat Magazine).
