I just heard a song on KRVS radio in Lafayette played/sung by Lisa Cormier and the Lafayette Rhythm Devils. Sorry I don't remember the name of the song. Anyway, does anyone know what brand accordeon she plays? It sounded so sweet with a beautiful tone!
Lesa Cormier is a man and does not play with the Lafayette Rhythm Devils. He is the band leader (and drummer)of the Sundown Playboys and a long time Cajun Music Veteran. I don't know who plays accordion in the Rhythm Devils.
No wonder I didn't hear a female voice in the band. Anyway, Pete announced the song and band as Lesa Cormier and the Lafayette Rhythm Devils. I guess I'll never know what accordeon made that beautiful sound.
I've heard pete do that before, sometimes he gets stuck between the song that just finished playing and the one hes about to play . It happens to the best of us. But I will say that Peppy plays only wet tuned Acadians on those cd's.
It was in all likely hood Kristi Gillory since she is the accordion player for the Rythem Devils and she plays on an old "Creole" accordion, thats the brand name "Creole".
