Charles Thibodeaux and the Austin Cajun Aces

Charles Thibodeaux was born and raised in Beaumont Texas. His parents were from Church Point, Louisiana and they would visit there often when he was growing up. After moving to Austin Texas, he became lonesome for the music of his roots and formed a Cajun Band in March of 2004. In their first years, they have played traditional Cajun Music throughout Texas and for the Cajun French Music Association events in San Antonio and at the International Accordion Festival, all while maintaining a busy schedule of shows in and around Austin. Wherever the Austin Cajun Aces go, you are sure to have a great time!
"Hommage ‘a Andrew Cormier" is the first recording from the Austin Cajun Aces. The CD serves as a tribute to pioneers of Cajun Music who left Louisiana in the 1950’s in hopes of finding better jobs along the Texas Coast. Charles grew up watching Andrew Cormier, Dallas Roy and Rodney LeJeune play music at the Rodair Club in Port Acres, Texas which was owned by Charles’ cousin, Joe Thibodeaux. The CD includes original Cajun music with a taste of Zydeco and features a showcase of talented musicians.
