Thread: Pine Leaf Boys: Get Off My Lawn

  1. Default Re: Pine Leaf Boys: From banned at UL to playing for the world

    Congratulations Pine Leaf Boys on your Grammy nomination.


  2. ooh LA La. Re: Pine Leaf Boys: From banned at UL to playing for the world


      Is it even possible for a 27-year-old, Grammy-nominated musician to have no idea who or what Led Zeppelin is?

    Pine Leaf Boys singer/accordionist Wilson Savoy insists that it is. Of course, it's not that Savoy hadn't heard of Led Zeppelin. It's just that he didn't know Led Zeppelin was a band.

    That changed, however slightly, two years ago when the Pine Leaf Boys were invited to open for Robert Plant at New Orleans' famed Tipitina's. The offer came from their friend C.C. Adcock, who'd been doing some recording and performing with the Zeppelin frontman.

    "He calls me and he says, 'Look, I want you all to come play with us and Robert Plant,'" recalls Savoy. "And I said, 'OK, I don't know who that is.' And he said, 'Yeah, Led Zeppelin!' And I said, 'OK, I've heard of a guy named Led Zeppelin, but who is Robert Plant?'"

    Savoy swears he's telling the truth.

    "I was raised on a little farm, my parents [musicians Marc and Ann Savoy] were very traditionalist, and they didn't have any music except for Cajun music," he explains. "I'm really one of the few guys who just doesn't know jack squat about modern-day music. But the guitar player in our band loves that kind of music, and he was flippin' out and sayin', 'We have to go do this, we gotta go play with Robert Plant.'"

    It still amazes me that these boys were kicked off of campus. They are some of the best musicians in Acadiana.

    The Pine Leaf Boys were featured on national TV on HBO's Treme.

    Treme is about the Treme neighborhood in New Orleans, starting about 3 months after Katrina. Treme is one of the oldest neighborhoods in NOLA, and an important center in the music scene. It's an excellent show, it follows a few residents of the neighborhood that are all connected in some way. It premiered in April, and is like 7 shows in. It has some big name actors, John Goodman, Steve Zahn, Khandi Alexander among others. It also guest stars musicians from NOLA, Kermit Ruffins, Trombone Shorty among others.

    In the show, a musician from Treme, a fiddle player, gets a chance to try out for the Pine Leaf Boys, from Lafayette (of course, they said Lafayette wrong) to go on tour with them.

    Great show. I'd been waiting for it to come out since I heard about it a year or so ago. Its lived up to the hype and was cool to have a little bit of Cajun music in their with all the jazz they've had so far. I really like the Annie character. Lucia Micarelli is quite the musician.

    The PLB filmed a scene for the show while at the Crawfish Festival this year.
