K. Jones & the Benzie Playboys – Friday, July 27, 2012
K.Jones and the Benzie playboys play some great “old school” zydeco and cajun music for dances and events with traditional button accordions, fiddles, and washboard for an authentic Louisiana dance experience.
K. Jones & the Benzie Playboys are bringing the roots sound of southwest Louisiana’s Creole, Cajun, and Zydeco scene to ya’ll up here in the Great Lakes area.
The Playboys are dedicated to keeping the Cajun/Creole music alive with live performances for two-steppin’, waltzing, and smoking red hot zydeco dancing.
Cajun/Creole French lyrics are common in many of the tunes we sing in the tradition of Amede Ardoin, Bois Sec, Canray Fontenot, Boozoo Chavis, John Delafose, the Balfa Brothers, Iry LeJune, Dennis McGee and many others.
The 10 button diatonic accordion of K.Jones is the driving force of our music, with Jonah Powell on fiddle. Jamie Bernard is on the drums, and Dan Johansson on bass. Mark Stoltz is our man on the scrubboard and tit’fer driving the beat….. Mark also gives dancing lessons parties and workshops. (http://www.benzieplayboys.com/)
