renée reed and julianne mahoney
Julianne and Renée interpret the canon of Louisiana French music with sincere reverence and an air of celebration. Their understanding of traditional music and commitment to honest culture-bearing together tell the story of a people–the lament of heartbreak and exile is there, alongside the bounce of revelry that only Southwest Louisiana can beget.
