A fixture in the Bay Area Cajun/Zydeco community since 1995, the Creole Belles have just recorded their first CD, released on April 1, 2008. The Creole Belles bring the sounds and spirit of Cajun Louisiana to the Bay Area. With fiddle and accordion fronting the band and upright bass, rubboard and guitar providing solid rhythm, they entertain crowds with traditional, down home Cajun and Creole dance music. Fiddler Delilah Lee Lewis went to Louisiana to study Cajun fiddle for about 3 years in the early eighties. She lived above the Savoy Music Center in Eunice and spent most of her free time visiting the homes of southwest Louisiana fiddlers including Dennis McGee, Canray Fontenot, Wade Fruge, Michael Doucet and Bebe Carriere. Delilah returned to California where she continued to play Cajun music in various bands and with her good friend, the great Cajun accordionist Danny Poullard. In 1995, she joined with rock-solid accordionist Maureen Karpan and longtime traditional roots musicians Karen Leigh and Karen Celia Heil to bring the sounds of Creole music to Cajun and zydeco fans in the Bay Area. Since the year 2000, Andrew Carriere, the son of renowned fiddler Bebe Carriere, has added his marvelous rubboard rhythms, vocals and accordion to most of the Belles’ performances as well as their new CD. The Belles are the house band for art openings at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artists Gallery in San Francisco. “Their spirited and spicy blend of acoustic Cajun music and vocals can disarm the most formidable and serious of art audiences. I have had a suspicion that some of our patrons come more to listen to their music than to see our art,” wrote Exhibitions Coordinator Steven Pon. The Belles have enjoyed performing throughout the West, from McCurdy Pavilion in Port Townsend, Washington to Sweetwater Saloon in San Rafael, CA to the Shortgrass Festival in Cimarron, New Mexico.

Thanks so much for the add! You have some wonderful stuff here - I especially like BERNADETTE! We're adding some Cajun sounds to our set and we attended the Dewey Balfa camp in Ville Platte this past April. I just posted a waltz (The Endless Waltz) that I wrote with Johnny accompanying me on accordion. It's in English (we don't know enough French yet) and it has a feminist theme. I thought you might be interested and I hope for some feedback from professionals like you. Thanks again for the friendship!
