SUMMARY:CANCELLED - American Roots Concert Series: Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie
DESCRIPTION:Geno Delafose (born February 6\, 1971 in Eunice\, Louisiana) is a zydeco accordionist and singer. His sound is deeply rooted in traditional Creole music with strong influences from Cajun music and also country and western. His father is the famous zydeco accordion player John Delafose. \nDelafose was born and raised in Eunice\, Louisiana. At the age of 8\, he joined his father’s band the Eunice Playboys as a rubboard player\, and continued to play with the band until his father’s death in 1994. He also appeared on several of the band’s recordings. He switched to the accordion in the early 1990s and started to play as an opening act for his father. \nIn 1994\, he debuted with the album French Rockin’ Boogie on Rounder Records. The name of this album also became the name of his band with whom he still plays with today. He released two more albums from the label before signing with Times Square Records to release Everybody’s Dancin’ in 2003. He has also appeared on the compilation album Creole Bred: A Tribute to Creole & Zydeco released in 2004 on Vanguard Records.

SUMMARY:American Roots Concert Series: Justin Golden & The Devil's Coattails
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted and grateful to welcome Justin Golden & The Devil’s Coattails to Hill Center for a rare performance. \nWith roots in the Mississippi Delta\, Chicago\, and the Piedmont of Virginia\, Richmond-based guitarist and songwriter Justin Golden’s origins are deeply vested in the blues. First picking up the guitar at age 19\, Golden did what came naturally and let the music flow through him. With an extremely diverse musical palette\, Golden aims to bring some new ideas to traditional blues forms. \nAt the age of 34\, a shocking Stage IV Cancer diagnosis in January of 2025 left Golden in a place of uncertainty\, fear and doubt. After more than a decade of intense touring\, recording\, and honing his craft\, Golden was forced to take an extended respite from musician life. He instead dedicated his time to manage chemotherapy treatments\, appointments\, and navigating the health insurance establishment. For most of 2025\, Golden had barely enough energy to play one local show each month. Although he still plays extremely limited tours as symptoms allow\, Golden’s treatment will be ongoing for the foreseeable future. Golden states that he “truly couldn’t have made it through 2025 without the support of [his] community.” \n \nThanks to all our sponsors: \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:American Roots Concert Series: New Dangerfield
DESCRIPTION:A century of forgetfulness and erasure has led to diminished public awareness of the Black string band tradition – and similarly diminished numbers of Black string bands. As of 2023\, a new Black string band has risen to carry the torch: New Dangerfield. \nNew Dangerfield was originally conceptualized by award-winning banjoist Tray Wellington\, who enlisted three other acclaimed Black roots musicians: multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kaïa Kater\, bassist Nelson Williams (Chris Jones & the Night Drivers)\, and fiddler and singer Jake Blount. \nThe members of New Dangerfield cut their teeth at fiddler’s conventions and folk festivals\, and in the jazz bars of New Orleans. Community and tradition are the roots of their creative practice – but the branches have spread wide\, and are yet unfolding. Embodying the innovative aspects of the Black string band tradition\, Wellington\, Kater\, Williams and Blount are well-acquainted with the contemporary\, the experimental\, and the speculative. Deploying groove\, technical skill and historical knowledge in the revolutionary spirit of their namesake\, Dangerfield Newby\, New Dangerfield is on a mission to liberate the Black string band tradition. \n \nThanks to all our sponsors: \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:American Roots Concert Series: Brennen Leigh
DESCRIPTION:Brennen Leigh was perhaps fated to “walk the line” from birth. Born in Fargo\, North Dakota\, she was raised just across the state border in Moorhead\, Minnesota\, in an environment where country music was all-encompassing. “My parents listened to country music\, to the point where I didn’t realize there was other music\,” she recalls.  \n  \nProduced by musician Chris Scruggs (bassist with Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives)\, who’s the grandson of bluegrass royalty Earl Scruggs\, and son of pioneering country hitmaker and record producer Gail Davies\, Ain’t Through Honky Tonkin’ Yet follows 2022’s Obsessed With the West\, Leigh’s acclaimed collaboration with Western Swing icons Asleep at the Wheel\, which landed in the Top 10 on the Americana music chart upon its release. “Brennen will carry the torch for real roots American music for her generation\, and she’s the best one to do it in my opinion\,” says Wheel frontman Ray Benson. In addition to her extensive\, genre-defying discography which encompassesnearly a dozen solo and collaborative projects\, Leigh has penned songs for an array of artists including Lee Ann Womack\, Rodney Crowell\, Charley Crockett and many more. She has been hailed by the Grammy-winning Crowell as “a story-telling poet\, landscape painter\, passionate observer of the human condition and a cultural preservationist.” A live-show veteran\, Leigh was just 20 years old when she toured with bluegrass and country-music legend Ralph Stanley\, and hit the road with songwriter Guy Clark\, who proclaimed\, as only he could\, “Brennen Leigh plays guitar like a motherfucker.” Her dynamic and endlessly entertaining live shows certainly live up to that high praise\, showcasing not only her instrumental prowess\, but a gift for vivid storytelling filtered through her refreshingly dry wit. \n  \nNew album coming this October!  \n  \n \nThanks to all our sponsors: \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:American Roots Concert Series: The Pine Leaf Boys
DESCRIPTION:Louisiana’s finest\, four-time Grammy-Nominated\, world-renown Pine Leaf Boys have made a name for presenting their own inimitable brand of Louisiana music with youthful exuberance. Hailing from southwest Louisiana\, the Pine Leaf Boys\, known for their wild shows and thoughtful arrangements\, have breathed new life into Louisiana music\, reviving ancient songs and bringing them to the bandstand. Being described in the New York Times as\, “… the link that connects the young and the old generations\,” and\, “the best new\, energetic\, and fun Cajun band in a very long time\,” the Pine Leaf Boys play the old fashion dance hall standards while making a priority to bring many of the more obscure songs of past masters into their repertoire and play them with gusto.  \nThe Pine Leaf Boys have been invited on six occasions by the U.S. State Department to tour the world and present true music to Saudi Arabia\, UAE\, and Jerusalem in 2009 and again to Latvia\, Denmark\, and Slovenia is 2010 and a third time to the “Stan” countries in 2012 (Uzbek\, Tajik\, and Kyrgz). The variety and energy they release evolves through their shows\, bringing multi-faceted angles to Cajun\, Creole\, and Zydeco. Their mission is to present the beautiful\, powerful music of their ancestors and present the real Cajun music to the world and prove that it is still thriving and full of life. The Pine Leaf Boys have preserved the traditional Cajun sound\, while allowing it to breathe and stretch with those who play it.  Click here to see a list of the last 11 years of touring around the 23 countries and 47 states. \n \nThanks to all our sponsors: \n\n\n
