ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JOURDAN THIBODEAUX TRIO (USA)
Last seen at FR11 in 2024, Jourdan Thibodeaux is the guy you picture when someone says the word “authentic.” Straight from the blackjack boggy woods of Cypress Island, Louisiana, Jourdan is one of only a small number of young people speaking Cajun French today. His musical ability and his crafty songwriting which is at once classic and progressive has afforded him a band comprised of some of the finest artists in Acadiana today.
Joining him are Blake Miller and Joel Savoy, two of the most sought-after musicians in the field of Cajun music today. Blake has been seen among the ranks of some of the genre’s top bands, including Cedric Watson and Bijoux Creole and The Revelers, and he now fronts his own group, the Old-Fashioned Aces. Joel is the founder of the Louisiana-based label, Valcour Records. He is a Grammy-winning recording engineer and record producer, as well as a ten-time Grammy nominee and fiddle virtuoso.
On stage Friday, July 31st at Union Corner Provincial Park, PE

Jourdan Thibodeaux, c’est le gars qu’on imagine quand entend le mot “authentique”. Originaire des forêts marécageuses de Cypress Island, en Louisiane, Jourdan fait partie des jeunes qui parlent encore le français cajun aujourd’hui. Son chant émouvant et son jeu de violon sont le moyen d’expression idéal pour son répertoire toujours plus riche de chansons originales en français louisianais.
Blake Miller et Joel Savoy lui rejoignent, deux des artistes les plus reconnus dans le domaine de musique cajun aujourd’hui. Blake a joué dans une succession de groupes du premier échelon du genre, y inclut Cedric Watson et Bijoux Créole, et The Revelers, et mène maintenant son propre groupe, The Old-Fashioned Aces. Joel est le fondateur de la maison de musique louisianaise Valcour Records. Il est récipiendaire d’un prix Grammy comme ingénieur de son, et s’est mérité 10 nominations aux Grammys comme violoneux virtuose.
Sur scène le vendredi 31 juillet au parc provincial Union Corner, IPE.
