Sauce Piquante Cajun-Creole Band

Sauce Piquante has been part of the SF Bay Area’s vibrant Louisiana French music scene since 1999, when accordionist Blair Kilpatrick started the band. Since that time, the group has performed in many venues, from festivals and clubs to farmers’ markets, in the Bay Area and beyond. The group’s high-energy dance tunes and French vocals are rooted in two musical traditions: Cajun and old-time Creole, a precursor to zydeco. Sauce Piquante tries to capture the authentic sound of South Louisiana’s dance halls, house parties, and church dances. Along with Blair Kilpatrick on accordion and vocals, the band includes Steve Tabak on fiddle, Jim Ruth on guitar, and Kathy Price on bass. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
