CREOLE DU NORD

Dedicated to the traditional sounds of Cajun and Zydeco led by Mark Palms, Creole du Nord captures the Cajun groove with traditional fiddle and accordion backed by a tight rhythm section resulting in music suited for the best of times. Bandleader Mark Palms traced his family roots to Breaux Bridge Louisiana and now brings the uplifting spirit of Louisiana music to the northern great lakes.  Mark has spent years learned from some of Louisiana's best... such as Joe Hall, Steve Riley, Blake Miller, Jesse Lege, Ray Abshire, Walter Mouton and more.  Creole du Nord has played festivals, dances, and clubs across Michigan and had the great honor of playing at the traditional Wheatland Arts & Music Festival in Remus MI.  It doesn't get any better than that!

What they say...

Even though it was a cool evening, Creole du Nord was a great way to heat up the night. They have been our #1 band at the festival for the last couple of years.  Thank you for such a wonderful night!

We enjoyed meeting and listening to your band last night. Both homesick for some good boudin and Crawfish (as you know a Louisiana staple), we danced and drank to our hearts desire. We look forward to catch y''all next time and "pass a good time".

Though the temperature outside the tent was cool, the music of Creole du Nord warmed the crowd. We heard nothing but good comments about this highly professional band. If you hire them I highly recommend you advise your attendees to bring their dancing shoes!
