Live Cajun music by Charles Thibodeaux & the Austin Cajun Aces at Evangeline Cafe.
Charles Thibodeaux & the Austin Cajun Aces play Evangeline Cafe on Monday, August 17, starting at 7 PM. It's a night of live Cajun music in South Austin, and if you've never been to Evangeline, it's a good place to start. The cafe specializes in traditional Southern Louisiana dishes and hosts live music most nights during dinner, so you can eat and listen at the same time.
Evangeline has a bit of a reputation for its food: it took home Best of Austin Awards for Cajun cuisine in 2024 and 2023, and it's been named a Restaurant Poll and First Plates winner. If you're coming for the music, you'll find the kitchen doing the kind of Southern Louisiana cooking the place is known for.
The band is part of a wider Cajun scene that runs across the city, from the stuffed pork chops and crawfish étouffée of the South to East Austin's Uptown Sports Club and the Gulf Coast-flavored Shoal Creek Saloon. It's a scene Austin leans into when Louisiana's Carnival traditions drift Texas-ward in the form of crawfish boils, brass bands, and king cakes.
