Modern Cajun afficionados and two-time GRAMMY winners Lost Bayou Ramblers will headline this show at the Brown Family Amphitheater. The group will also open the show with a traditional acoustic set. Lost Bayou Ramblers’ evolution as a perversely progressive band rooted in Cajun traditions continues to excite, challenge, and redefine both genre expectations as well as cultural preconceptions. With eight albums, GRAMMY wins in the “Best Regional Roots Music” category for their most recent studio album, Kalenda, as well as for their recent live album, Live: Orpheum Theater with the Louisiana Philharmonic, and contributions to the score of the Oscar-nominated Beasts Of The Southern Wild, Lost Bayou Ramblers continue to swing wide from their Louisiana home base.
The group stands at the crosscurrents of Louisiana culture by inhabiting the gray area between Cajun and Creole, convention and innovation, mystery and revelation, experimenting and growing the show to what it’s become today: an eclectic mix of modern sounds and rhythms with ancient Cajun melodies and lyrics. Their Jack White produced performance in the 2017 documentary series and on the accompanying record release American Epic helped solidify Lost Bayou Ramblers’ reputation as one of the world’s finest traditional Cajun outfits, if one of the least orthodox.
The 2026 Muncie Three Trails Series is sponsored by Ball State University.
