Archive Aid 7 tonight at the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette, LA

I want to invite every one to join us tonight for the 7th edition of Archive Aid at the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette, LA. 

This event is hosted by the Center for Cultural and Eco-Tourism and the Archives of Cajun and Creole Folklore at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.  A minimum donation of $10 will grant admission to an evening of music and red beans and rice provided by Broussard’s Cajun Cookin’ and yours truly beginning at 5 p.m.

Here is the line-up for tonight’s event:

Joshua and Claire Caffery
Kelli Jones and the Giants
Cedric Watson and Daniel Coolik
Carol Fran and David Egan
Feufollet

“The funds raised through Archive Aid are necessary for the preservation, management and presentation of delicate historic materials; ensuring they remain intact for future generations and are made increasingly accessible to musicians, scholars and the general public. Proceeds will also go toward upcoming CD projects that include some of the rare recordings found in the Archives of Cajun and Creole Folklore.”

In fact, several of the musicians that will be playing tonight have used the archives to find obscure songs and recordings and bring them back to life.

This year, the event will also be broadcasted live on KRVS 88.7 FM and to the world via KRVS.org.

Come join us; it will be a good time!
