They’ve long favored the traditional dancehall style of driving two-steps and smooth waltzes with soulful French vocals, learning from some of Louisiana’s fines musicians. The dance floor is always full when Magnolia’s in town!

    Alan Bradbury on accordion, Michelle Kaminsky and Chris Ash on fiddles, Maggie Moniz on guitar, Martin Grosswendt on bass, and Richie Moniz on triangle, and Jack Ezikovich on drums.
