T Marie and Bayou Juju play traditional and original Louisiana music, with the band's origins traced directly back to informal gatherings at fires, suppers, porches, and levees. That grassroots beginning still shapes the band's sound today, whether they're honoring traditional Cajun, Creole, Zydeco, Swamp Pop, Country, Blues, and New Orleans songs or contributing their own original tunes to the next generation of South Louisiana sound, performed in both Louisiana French and English.
Led by the powerhouse voice of T Marie, the band recorded an album just six months after forming that made the initial Grammy ballot for Best Regional Roots Music Album, was nominated for OffBeat Magazine's Best Cajun Album, and reached #3 on Bandcamp's Cajun/Zydeco chart. That kind of rapid recognition speaks to the authenticity the band brings to the stage — genuine ancestral sound paired with fresh original songwriting, delivered with real warmth and joy.
T Marie and Bayou Juju perform regularly at dive bars, dancehalls, and festivals across the New Orleans area and greater South Louisiana, including venues like d.b.a. and The Broadside. Billing themselves as "Cajun below sea level," the band continues to explore South Louisiana sound — original, ancestral, and everything in between — while inviting audiences to grab their dancing shoes, or their shrimp boots, and join in.
