About the band: Pointe Noir plays an uplifting combination of exciting dance music, country songs, and Cajun tunes from Lafayette and beyond. Pointe Noir finds its rhythm deeply seated in Southwest Louisiana, where many of its members have studied and learned Cajun music. Katie Trautz is a seasoned fiddle player, who drifted south to the Bayou after many years of playing Old-time music. Chris Hollis, the Montpelier-based old-time guitar player, also found an interest in Cajun music, and together he and Katie traveled to Louisiana to learn the musical traditions there. Cannon Labrie is a long-time Cajun and Zydeco accordion player. This summer Pointe Noir is joined by Andrew Stearns of the Burlington based Wild Leek River band. Pointe Noir's rhythm section includes Walker Blackwell, a percussionist who has been surrounded by Cajun music his entire life and has been performing percussion in several local bands on and off since he was 4 years old. Christiana Athena-Blackwell is a multi-instrumentalist and music educator. She started singing and drumming in bands in Vermont when she was 14 years old and continued her performing career for the past 2 decades.
