7:30 (Doors - 7:00)

When asked to describe their music, any one of these guys will usually scratch his head and say, "Well, it's a bit tough to describe....but it's a lot of fun to dance to!"

Bijoux Du Bayou started as a traditional Cajun/Zydeco cover band. But when the guys started performing their own material, other influences crept into the sound. That's what happens when a bunch of West Coast Canucks write Louisiana Zydeco.

Although still strongly Cajun and Zydeco rooted, you can hear New Orleans, Tex-Mex, Calypso, Swing, Rock and Country elements coming through Bijoux's distinct sound.

The result is a musical gumbo that's sort of Cajun and very Canadian, making it Canajun music. But when you've got a sound that keeps the dance floor packed "tout la nuit," as they would say down South in Cajun Country, who cares what it's called?

No Alcohol!
Costumes welcome!
Tickets at Artworks & the Coffeehouse ($12 - door)

Dance catered by Howie Smith & Christine Watt's Travelin' Latte espresso bar/beverage service.
