Artist description
The Bienville Cats bring back the R & B sounds of the 60’s with amazing authenticity, while retaining a unique sound that only they could produce. Although this genre is the focus of the band, don't be surprised to occasionally hear some blues, jazz, country or cajun. These guys can do it all...with style. Unlike many bands that play mostly cover tunes, The Bienville Cats are real and organic, keeping synthesized sounds to a minimum and formulating arrangements that allow the musicians artistic freedom. The members have a multitude of musical backgrounds and influences which make their way into every performance. The music they play is timeless, and people of all ages have and will continue to enjoy the sounds of this wonderful group. |
