On Saturday, June 7th, 2008 at 8PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present an evening with esteemed Cajun group BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet.

Since forming in 1975, Grammy winners BeauSoleil have claimed their undisputed role as the most esteemed Cajun group in music.  BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet take the rich Cajun traditions of Louisiana and artfully blend elements of zydeco, New Orleans jazz, Tex-Mex, country, blues and more into a satisfying musical recipe.  From the Grand Ole Opry to Newport Folk, from concert hall to dance floor, the music of BeauSoleil continues to captivate audiences the world over.

BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet features: Michael Doucet (violin, guitar, accordion, mandolin, vocals), David Doucet (guitar, vocals), Jimmy Breaux (accordion), Billy Ware (percussion), Tommy Alesi (drums) and Mitch Reed (bass, fiddle, banjo, electric guitar).  Their latest recording, Live in Louisiana, is their first live album recorded at home, their 28th overall, and it celebrates their 30th anniversary with a wide-ranging set of tunes from across their discography and the Cajun and Creole cultural spectrum.

Tickets for this performance are $40.00 ($30.00 for IMAC Members). For tickets or further information on this performance, or on other IMAC programs, call IMAC's 24-hour Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS.
