Live Cajun music performance by Charles Thibodeaux & the Austin Cajun Aces at the Evangeline Cafe.
Charles Thibodeaux & the Austin Cajun Aces are playing Evangeline Cafe on Monday, July 27. It's part of a run the band has been playing at the cafe, with this date listed as the one that carries them through the end of July.
If you haven't spent much time there, Evangeline Cafe is a South Austin landmark known for authentic Cajun cooking in an unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere. The house specialties are the Gold Band Creole and the stuffed pork chop, and there's live music almost every night of the week. The band's presence here fits into a wider Cajun scene that stretches across the city, from this South Austin haunt to East Austin's Uptown Sports Club and the Gulf Coast-flavored Shoal Creek Saloon.
That sound sits alongside the Louisiana Carnival traditions that drift into Austin every February, when the city fills with crawfish boils, brass bands, king cake, and gumbo cook-offs. It's a specific thread of the city's music scene that doesn't just show up for a few weeks in the spring—it's something you can still find on a random Monday night in the middle of summer.
