Once hailed as the youthful and precocious future of Cajun music, Feufollet is one of the most popular and innovative Cajun bands in southwest Louisiana, despite the fact that most of the band members are college students. Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Feufollet was founded in 1995 by Chris Stafford (accordion, fiddle) and Chris Segura (fiddle) when they were eight and 11 years old, respectively; they are joined by Anna Laura Edmiston (vocals), Josh Caffery (electric guitar), Mike Stafford (bass) and Phillippe Billeaudeaux (drums). The band's music has deep traditional roots, with vocals in Cajun French, but the musicians don't hesitate to add more modern elements when they fit the music. Folklorist Nick Spitzer, the host of American Routes on NPR, describes Feufollet as "a beguiling mix of authoritative voice and youthful passion, seriousness of purpose and artistic risk-taking." The band made its recording debut in 1999 with La Bande Feufollet; their most recent album is last year's Cow Island Hop.
