Stuart's Opera House is hosting an evening of Cajun music and dancing with the Savoy Family Cajun Band at 8 this Friday. Savoy plays honed-down, hardcore Cajun music laced with an earthy sensuality, according to a news release.
Though the old tunes have been revived and returned to new life intensity in their hands, the Savoy Family Cajun band doesn’t play from a studied angle, according to the release. Band members Marc and Ann Savoy and their sons, Joel and Wilson, each hold his and her own as strong individual group members, making up a tight, intense sound.

Skeletonwitch is raw. So raw that they uprooted Uncle Kraker from his spot in the Billboard Top 200 last week with the success of their new album, “Breathing The Fire,” which dropped on Oct. 21.
In just a week, Athens’ biggest metal band sold 3,500 albums in the United States, enough to seat them at #151 on the Billboard 200 chart, which includes the highest-selling albums from music of all genres. And if that’s not enough, Skeletonwitch snagged the top of the Heatseekers chart at #2, which rates the best-selling albums from those bands who have never broken the 200 before.
