Sarah Savoy and the Francadians at Black Box

Sarah Savoy & the Francadians are a group of hard-working and hard-living Cajun musicians based in Paris. Born and raised in Louisiana, Sarah’s band has quickly gained a reputation for their driving dance-hall Cajun, rousing Rockabilly and sizzling Zydeco,

Sarah is a powerful front women, her own original compositions speaking with a voice until now virtually unheard in Cajun music. Sarah sings in celebration of the modern woman, strong, independent, and fun-loving, rather than only lamenting the traditional position of the abandoned woma.

Keeping her audiences dancing, Sarah belts out sassy blues, growls through honky-tonk-inspired Cajun songs of the 1940’s and 50’s, and wails the bitterness of some of Cajun music's most forlorn waltzes.

A qualified Louisiana chef, Sarah has turned this skill into an entertainment format leading Cajun cookery demonstrations in which she cooks up a range of authentic Louisiana dishes, accompanied with live music from her band guaranteed to whet the appetite.
