Cajun Dance Special Event!

Irish American Heritage Center
4626 N. Knox (at Wilson), Chicago, IL

 
Dennis Stroughmatt and Creole Stomp will be our final guest band of the season.  We're very excited about hosting CreoleDennis Stroughmatt and Creole Stomp Stomp, a national touring band with 6 CDs to their credit.  Dennis has played with many Louisiana bands including Sheryl Cormier, Dexter Ardoin and the Creole Ramblers, Hadley Castille, The Morris Ardoin Creole Trio and The Acadian Aces.   Dennis has appeared as a performer on CDs by Morris Ardoin and Dexter Ardoin.  Dennis and his band are on the Illinois Arts Council Artstour Roster, The Heartland Arts Fund Roster and the Missouri Humanities Council Speaker Roster.
 
As Ron McFarlain of Lake Charles, LA, has said  "When it comes to Louisiana French music, I've heard a  lot in my time.  Dennis doesn't try to play the real thing, he IS the real thing.  So don't miss seeing him and Creole Stomp!"    
 
As you can see, this will be a very special event.  Please note the day and time change and please be sure to attend.  You will love Dennis' energy and authenticity.  Dennis has told me that he's looking forward to meeting many of you and supporting Cajun dance in Chicago!
