Boréal Tordu
"Friendly reminder from Boréal Tordu: Cajun wasn't born on the Bayou." As these Acadians from down east will tell you, Cajun music was born in Maine when French traders first tightened their fiddle bows there in 1604. Four hundred years later, this talented foursome keeps their musical tradition rocking with footstomping fiddle tunes for a new generation. The result is a rhythmically unstoppable, lyrically fantastic blend of French-Canadian traditions with original Americana sensibilities. Their 2006 release La Bonne Vie was called "an inspiration to the Franco-American community" by Dirty Linen Magazine, and has been heard on the PBS series Now with Bill Moyers.
The band features fiddler/accordionist Steve Muise, and Acadian singer-songwriter and dobro player Rob Sylvain, known for his work in the band Douce with Matthew Doucet of Lafayette, Louisiana. Rounding out the rhythm section is Pip Walter on guitar and backing vocals, and Andy Buckland on upright bass. Thrice nominated for the Portland Phoenix reader's poll award for Best World Music Act, Boréal Tordu continues to innovate and abide in a genre by itself.
