Louisiana’s Own, World Renowned
The Pine Leaf Boys are four time Grammy nominees from south Louisiana who are adding a new spice to Cajun music. They play old fashion dance hall standards while bringing the more obscure songs of the genre to a new audience.
In 2009, the U.S. State Department invited the Pine Leaf Boys to tour the Middle East. The State Department then invited them in 2010 to play Latvia, Denmark and Slovenia. Friday, they will perform in Covington.
Ironically, pine trees do not have leaves, and it is unclear whether the band corrects this misconception for audience members who are not familiar with conifers.
