Jourdan Thibodeaux et les Rôdailleurs headed to Europe for Summer festival debut

 This July, next week in fact, European audiences will get a rare treat as Jourdan Thibodeaux et les Rôdailleurs bring their high-octane Louisiana French sound to two of the continent’s most beloved music festivals: the Rudolstadt Festival in Germany and the Rotterdam Bluegrass Festival in the Netherlands:

04/07: Rulolstadt, DE - Rudolstadt-Festival
05/07: Rulolstadt, DE - Rudolstadt-Festival
06/07: Rotterdam, NL - Rotterdam Bluegrass Festival

Led by the magnetic Jourdan Thibodeaux — a genuine cultural torchbearer from the black back boggy woods of Cypress Island, Louisiana — the group promises a deep dive into the rich, living tradition of Cajun music. Thibodeaux, one of the few young people still speaking Cajun French, channels his heritage through soulful vocals, fiery fiddle playing, and original songwriting that walks the line between timeless and forward-thinking.

Joined by an all-star Acadiana lineup featuring Alan Lafleur on bass, Joel Savoy on guitar, and Adam Cormier on drums, the band has earned acclaim across North America for their electrifying performances and two celebrated studio albums released on Valcour Records.

Whether delivering foot-stomping two-steps or aching ballads, Jourdan Thibodeaux et les Rôdailleurs don’t just play Cajun music — they live it. As they bring la verité across the Atlantic, festivalgoers in Rudolstadt and Rotterdam are in for a swamp-soaked, soul-stirring experience.
