American Routes
American Routes, the nationally syndicated public radio program dedicated to the exploration of American music and culture, will be recording from the Black Pot Festival at the Acadian Village in Lafayette, La. on October 30 and 31, 2009 for broadcast later this year.
The Black Pot Festival, now in its fourth year, feat...ures roots music from all over south Louisiana and around the country. Started as a cooperative among south Louisiana artists and musicians, the Black Pot Festival has become an important link in the preservation and continuance of traditional “roots” music in Louisiana.
“What’s inside the Black Pot is a hip and inclusive line-up from French Louisiana and beyond with ageless energy, eclectic style and musical quality, all tied to a great American vernacular sound for a nation of listeners,” noted American Routes host and producer Nick Spitzer.
This year’s program includes performances by bands such as The Red Stick Ramblers, The Lost Bayou Ramblers and The Pine Leaf Boys, as well as Cajun music elders Hadley Castille and Walter Mouton and veteran Zydeco accordionist Preston Frank. New Orleans Bluesman Little Freddie King and venerable old-time musicians Ginny Hawker and Tracey Schwartz are among the many other performers appearing during the two-day festival.
The Festival takes place each year on the grounds of Lafayette’s Acadian Village, the folklife museum that showcases examples of 19th century vernacular South Louisiana architecture.

Time:4:00PM Friday, October 30th
Location:Lafayette, LA
