Description

Staffland Stages: The Light & Legacy of Christopher Stafford

Chapter One: The Roots & Branches of Feufollet

Featuring: Feufollet, Givers, Steve Riley, Brass Bed, Cedric Watson, and more Special Guests

Staffland Stages, an annual fundraiser concert series inspired by the contributions of Christopher Stafford and his beloved Staffland Studio, encourages audiences to dig deeper and examine more closely the facets that made up Christopher’s musical brilliance. 

This first year’s intention is to explore and celebrate Christopher’s closest musical collaborations and connections- namely the work and artists associated with his longest running project, Feufollet. 

Christopher’s life in music was diverse, colorful, collaborative, unexpected, sincere, and often held little allegiance to genre or convention. Though primarily known and celebrated for being a Cajun musician, Christopher’s musical taste and influences took on a range that included classic country and western, 60’s garage rock, new wave, folk, zydeco, blues.... The list goes on. 

This two night performance will feature Givers, Brass Bed, Cedric Watson, Steve Riley and a reunion of Feufollet including Anna Laura Edmiston Chris Segura, Kelli Jones, Dr. Josh Caffery, Mike Stafford, Andrew Toups, Taylor Guarisco, Philippe Billeaudeaux, John Troutman, Andy Bianculli with special guests Elise Riley and Blake Miller.

Acadiana Center for the Arts

Our mission is fostering art and culture in Acadiana.

Founded in 1975, Acadiana Center for the Arts (“AcA”) is a community-supported nonprofit organization that fosters art and culture in Acadiana. Since its founding, AcA has developed as a major force, shaping the future of public education and community development in South Louisiana.

AcA supports the creation of new works of art, exhibits, festivals, performances, and public art across an eight-parish region that includes Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion Parishes.  

AcA aims to bring equitable access to the arts and supports fair compensation of artists. On average, AcA serves over 300,000 people annually and provides fair compensation to 2,700 artists.  

In 2013, the AcA merged with the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana (“PASA”), whose mission was to educate, inspire, entertain, and culturally enrich the people of south Louisiana by providing local access to a diverse range of the performing arts. This merger supported the vision of both organizations and provided much-needed support to PASA’s programs. Founded in 1989, PASA served as a leading voice in the performing arts in South Louisiana for close to three decades.
