Magnolia travels the Northeast playing the best  traditional Cajun dance music ; high-energy two steps and flowing waltzes  that keep an audience on its feet long into the night. Magnolia is dedicated to exploring the roots of Cajun music; we have spent much time in Louisiana playing with traditional musicians and working to expand our repertoire and style. And true to the tradition, Magnolia's seven members create a party wherever they perform. The band's twin fiddles, accordion, guitar, bass, percussion and, of course, rich vocals get folks off their seats and onto the dance floor.
