The Holiday Playgirls at Antone’s
The Holiday Playgirls™️, anchored by Acadiana natives Juliane Mahoney and Renée Reed, interpret the canon of Louisiana French music with their own sincere reverence and air of celebration. Having both spent time working in the archives at UL’s Center for Louisiana Studies, their understanding of traditional music and commitment to honest culture-bearing make for a deep listening experience for anyone interested in rich music. This is the music that tells the story of a people – the lament of heartbreak and exile is there, right alongside the bounce of vigorous revelry that only Southwest Louisiana can beget.
