Le Winston Band is a one-of-a-kind Zydeco band from Montreal fusing rich musical traditions of Louisiana with their own French-Canadian roots. The result - music that’s exhilarating and performances that are musically enriching and high energy, leaving people dancing deep into the night. Since 2012, Le Winston Band has travelled throughout Canada & Europe spreading their joie de vivre with whoever is lucky enough to experience them.
In 2024 Le Winston WOWED crowds in the US during their debut “Bonjour Tour” of the “US de A”, so much so they’ve been asked to play virtually all major Cajun Zydeco flavored festivals in the North East including: Feb – The Flurry Festival (Saratoga Springs NY); May – Swamp in the City (Red Hook ~ Brooklyn); June – Bayou Boogie Festival (Goshen CT); July – Great Blue Heron
Fest (Sherman NY) / Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival (Oak Hill NY) / Camp Zydecow (Cherryfield ME). Wherever they perform, it’s love at first chord, love at first groove.

DETAILED BIO: Le Winston Band
Le Winston Band is a one-of-a-kind Montreal based ensemble that blends its French-Canadian roots with Zydeco and Cajun music. Since 2012, due to a sound that is derived from both the rich musical traditions of Louisiana and their own identity as Montrealers, the group has been sharing their joie de vivre with audiences across North America and Europe.
United by their shared passion for Zydeco music, the five musicians intermingle sassy compositions and their own take on well known traditional songs from Quebec and Louisiana. The powerful sound of the diatonic accordion supported by a typical “modern zydeco” lineup, electrifies audiences and ensures a warm and festive atmosphere that is guaranteed to get you off your feet and dancing.
Le Winston Band is also known for their Mardi Gras celebration in Montreal. Since 2014, hundreds of people flock to this carnaval-like event that takes place as winter draws to a close. Every year, costumed fans and musicians alike join together for a wild night filled with food, animation, music and dancing.
Not only has Le Winston Band shared their music from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Victoria, British Columbia but they have also traveled to perform in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Czechia and the United States. As of today, the group has performed over 600 concerts.
