Oeuval

ŒUVAL (pronounced “Huval”) is the musical project of singer, guitarist, and songwriter Kevin
Huval, part of Breaux Bridge’s celebrated Huval family of Cajun music virtuosos. Rooted in the
music he grew up with, Kevin pairs expressive singing with original French-language
songwriting and a hard-driving approach to older standards. Songs such as “Les Voyageurs,”
“Chariot Vert,” “Cane Harvest Blues,” and the unaccompanied “Oh Mamam” show a band
grounded in tradition but unafraid to press beyond it.
For this special Hideaway performance, Kevin is joined by Caroline Huval on vocals and guitar,
Horace Trahan on accordion, Beau Thomas on fiddle, Keith Sonnier on drums, and Allen
Williams on bass. Together, they play Cajun, Créole, and Zydeco music with respect for its
roots, room for something new, and a beat to keep people dancing.
