Cajun Surprise

Cajun Surprise is an exciting project from Grammy-nominated Louisiana native Jean Bertrand (Pine Leaf Boys, 99 Playboys) and Boston-based multi-instrumentalist Zach Meyer (Grain Thief, The Talking Hearts, Dumpster Debbie). Drawing on their deep knowledge of roots music without being confined by tradition, Jean and Zach's playful collaboration propels the Cajun genre in an unexpectedly delightful direction. With a repertoire spanning Balfa Brothers classics to obscure deep cuts to new originals, Jean and Zach trade accordion, guitar, and vocal duties while occasionally adding in less traditional instruments, such as clarinet, harmonica, and tenor banjo.
