Description

81-year old California Creole accordion player Joe Fontenot’s debut CD L’Echo a Travers Le Clos (Echo Across the Field) is now available! In true field recording style, we put a couple microphones in front of Joe and his two fellow musicians Guy Wenzel (fiddle) and Carolyn Russell (guitar) as they poured out tune after tune! Mr. Joe is a fixture in the Southern California Cajun and Zydeco community although he’s originally from Louisiana. The Old-Time Tiki Parlour believes heavily in supporting community and local music, so this is a big deal for us. The music community and family of Mr. Joe will now have something that will be preserved for generations.
