Cajun—Vermont style: Yankee Chank.
Rutland — Yankee Chank is a group of Vermont musicians who perform the traditional dance music of southwest Louisiana. A casual listener may wonder why a Vermont band is playing Cajun music, but we should remember that the folk music of French-speaking Quebec inspired its Cajun cousin to the south.
Drawn together by a shared passion for cajun and zydeco music, the band has been performing in a variety of venues since 1996. Its performances offer an immersion into this marvelous unique music using fiddle, accordion, guitar and bass.
The concert will be held as part of “The Saturday Night Coffee House Concert Series” at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rutland, at 117 West Stat the ., corner of West and Cottage, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12, advance, at Tattersall’s, on Merchants Row in downtown Rutland, $15 at the door, $8 seniors, $5 children. Concert and ticket information are available at 802-492-2252. Homemade “Goodies” and beverages will be available for sale. This will be a non-profit event.
