Baudoin performing with the Radiators

The Radiators’ Camile Baudoin sets out to capture the relaxed music from his early years on Thursday, Dec. 10 at Snug Harbor. Camile will be accompanied by guitarist John Rankin, violinist Harry Hardin and Michael Skinkus on percussion. The set list reflects the songs sung around the family’s living room as well as tunes he played with his uncles’ band, The Dufrene Brothers, in clubs along Bayou Lafourche.

The show will be recorded for Camile’s upcoming solo album. The show is dedicated to his paran Alton Dufrene, who taught Camile how to “play what you feel,” and who turns 89 on December 18. The set list includes hit standards from the era, an original or two, and the rare “Old Bayou Blues,” penned by Baudoin’s cousin Rosalie Toups. The recording project is supported in part by a grant from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation.
