Our 27th season kicks off with a return visit from Tom Rigney & Flambeau.
Tom Rigney and Flambeau will tear the roof off anyplace that has one. Flambeau specializes in fiery Cajun and zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes–a musical gumbo of tasty global sounds stirred together with Rigney’s virtuosic talent, charismatic stage presence, and enough high energy to lift an audience to its feet.

Join them for a rollicking afternoon of great harmony, solid musicianship, and masterful song craft. As comedian Pat Paulsen exclaimed upon the band’s performance on the original “Gong Show”:
