About the Cajun Hot Soles:The Cajun Hot Soles will take you back to the sweat-stained Louisiana dancehalls of the 1950's and earlier - horses and Model T's parked outside, beer and gumbo inside, but most importantly, a crowded dance floor swaying to accordions and fiddles playing rhythmic Cajun two-steps and waltzes, with a singer telling stories of heartache and trouble.The Cajun Hot Soles have performed frequently and steadily since inception in 1998. The band members have decades of both Cajun and non-Cajun musical experience. They have made - and continue to make - trips to Louisiana to study with master Cajun musicians. They have played as the backing band for visiting Louisiana Cajun musicians.
