She's an accomplished multi-instrumentalist playing accordion, piano and a host of things that are essential to the sound of Cajun and Creole music from the washboard to bones and spoons. Gumbo, Grits, & Gravy will be heading to the northeast for the North Atlantic Blues Fest in July and to Norway for Notodden Blues Fest in August. You know what to do- just be here!
