gypsy soul prairie folk - kinda tough to pigeon-hole, but suffice to say, when you combine accordions, fiddles, upright bass, guitars and percussion, you get a certain "je ne sais quoi, but I like it" sound
Hello, we are Le Fuzz.
From the jungles of Central America, to the deserts of Northern Mexico, onto the plains of old Russia, through timeless streets of vieux Paris, then home to Alberta on the Voyageur route.
Lefuzz takes you on a magnificent world journey.
The music of Le Fuzz reaches audiences both young and old while inspiring an appreciation for a world of music that defies borders.
The music will make you laugh, dance and smile.
It will move you to ponder far away places.
Le Fuzz combines rhythms and song-writing traditions of other cultures with their own unique blend of Alberta folk music and original lyrics, sung in French, Spanish, Russian, and a wee bit of English.

I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.
You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.
just wanted to drop by and say hi, I know Bill and he mentioned that you guys played a gig up north together. Though I couldn't catch your show at Wild Oats, he said you guys were pretty good ^_^
