Thibodeaux’s Austin band wins Cajun music award
“Homage à Andrew Cormier” by Charles Thibodeaux and the Austin Cajun Aces was named “Best First CD” at the Cajun French Music Association Awards over the weekend in Lafayette, La.
The LP, produced by Peter Schwarz at Bismeaux Studios, honors the man who taught Thibodeaux the 10 button Cajun-style diatonic accordion. A native of Beaumont, Thibodeaux relocated to Austin in the 1980s but only began performing publicly in recent years. He and the band, which includes Steve Doerr of the LeRoi Bros, pack ‘em in every Monday night at the Evangeline Café on Brodie Lane.
