8:30 pm Tickets are $12 Advance / $15 Day of Show Back in 2009 two of
the Bay Area’s top traditional musicians teamed up to form the
Midnite Ramblers, playing roots music steeped in authentic Cajun and
Creole traditions. They deliver irresistibly danceable Cajun classics.
An early year of intense musical experiences in Louisiana made the
Ramblers’ sound even more authentic to the Cajun tradition. Singer
and fiddler Agi Ban is a founder of the Aux Cajunals as well as the
Midnite Ramblers. Accordion player and fiddler Mark Marcin is a former
teacher at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, where his love of
Cajun, Creole, and zydeco music led to learning accordion from Ray
Abshire, Jimmy Breaux, and others. He studied fiddle with Suzy
Thompson and Cedric Watson. The Ramblers are rounded out by
guitarist-singer Alan Senauke (a veteran of countless roots bands
including California Cajun Orchestra, he’s also a Zen priest) and
bassist-singer Allegra Thompson, best-known as a member of the
honky-tonk trio the Drifter Sisters (and as the daughter of Cajun
stars Eric and Suzy Thompson). As Marcin proclaims, “Bring your
dancing shoes and join the Midnite Ramblers for a night of lively
two-steps, soulful blues and haunting waltzes!”
