Sylvain’s Acadian Aces to perform during L-A July 27 art walk

LEWISTON — L/A Arts will host a free summer concert featuring Sylvain’s Acadian Aces from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 27, at DuFresne Plaza, 72 Lisbon St.

The concert will take place during Art Walk LA. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own chairs.
Sylvain’s Acadian Aces keeps the Cajun flame alive in old Acadie with an energetic brand of raw, rootsy Cajun music derived directly from the source.
The vocal power of guitarist Robert Sylvain and charismatic fiddler Hawk Kallweit supplies a one-two punch that’s instantly compelling and distinctive. With Maine’s own true accordian ace Junior Stevens on button-box, and the unstoppable combination of Tom Jacques on upright bass and Kris Day on drums, Sylvain’s Acadian Aces deliver heart-wrenching lovesongs and electrifying dance numbers that can bring even the most stoic New Englanders to their feet.
Rooted in classic cajun two-steps and waltzes, the repertoire also folds in elements of creole and zydeco traditions along with original Americana and rock ‘n roll sensibilities.
