"Beyond their growing musical virtuosity, what sets Feufollet apart from other young bands is this ability to speak—and especially sing—in Cajun French. Their mastery of the language along with the music has enabled them not only to understand songs from oral tradition, but has opened up the creative possibility of writing new material—all with a beguiling mix of authoritative voice and youthful passion, seriousness of purpose and artistic risk-taking." Nick Spitzer, American Roots Some would say that their music is beyond their years, but the band’s message disproves the notion that musical expression has anything to do with the number of years one has been on the planet. Rather than proving that they are somehow an exception to any rule, they seem to raise the bar for all musicians, young or old, in whatever genre. Dirk Powell "The have carefully considered their history as well as their own times. They have learned from the old masters as well as the young innovators. They own mastery of the tools of Cajun music is breathtaking. They have been touring and performing already for some years now and some people who initially may have had the notion that they’ve been invited because they’re cute kids have found out quickly that they are excellent, exciting musicians who just happen to be younger than most. As young, in fact, as most would like to be. The fact that our culture can still produce these kids is a sure sign of its vitality." Barry Jean Ancelet “They're just really a hot, young group….their music is made for dancing; its hard to stay in your seat.” Marsha MacDowell, Great Lakes Folk Festival “Feufollet font danser les bayous en composant leurs propres chansons en Cajun” Grands Reportages “Feufollet, etoile montant de la scene musicale de louisianaise. Impossible de rester insensible devant cette formation qui se specialise dans la musique cadienne. Et ce n'est pas seulement parce ce qu'ils sont , c'est aussi parce ce qu'ils osnt bons” Sylvie Mousseau, L'Acadie Nouvelle “les beaux moments ont ete nombreux…le plus beau de tous etant peut-etre cette visite de quatre petit cajuns venus faire la fete a Zachary Richard” Jean Christophe Laurence, La Presse “It starts out with an infectious fiddle line. A crisply strummed guitar comes bouncing in and soon, drums, bass and t-fer have all joined pursuit on the album's opener “La Danse du Feufollet”. The melody's escapingly familiar, its Cajun with a Celtic tinge, and its Beausoleil-like drive catches you off guard. Their average age might be 12, but their deft musicianship ranks them with peers decades older.” Dan Willging, www.OFFBeat.com (1999) “This is an incredible release given that six youngsters, average age 12 years, have created such good traditional Cajun music. Everyone who saw this group at the recent Fort Lauderdale Cajun/Zydeco Crawfish Festival was blown away by their musicianship.” KVMR Listener's Guide (1999) “Their music is edgy, its not just pretty…its got power to it, its got energy, its got tension.” Dominick Cross “un des meilleurs espoirs pour le futur de la culture acadienne” Barry Ancelet in Gazette de Bayeaux “Fiddler Chris Segura is blossoming into a hallmark fiddler with his pristine tonality and lightning-quick bow strokes” Dan Willging, OFFBeat.com “Accordionist Chris Stafford exhibits a wide palette of styles, never dipping his brush into the same colors twice” Dan Willging, OFFBeat.com “the creativity profoundly deep, and the music's beauty often renders tears of joy” Dan Willging, OFFBeat.com
