Big Weekend 2025

Announcing the return of Randy Vidrine

Randy Vidrine hails from the heart of Cajun country in Ville Platte, Louisiana, just a stone’s throw away from the legendary Fred’s Lounge in Mamou. Growing up in a French-speaking household, he was surrounded by the soulful sounds of Cajun music on the local radio. When he’s not busy instructing, performing, or writing songs, you can find Randy tearing it up on stage with Cajun Tradition or jamming with The Forest Huval Band.
