Bonsoir Mes Amis

Fiddler Ben Guillemette and singer Lionel “Toots” Bouthot bring the old fashioned New England country dance and Franco-American soiree into your living room. These self taught Mainers learned to play music to make people dance and that they do! From town halls, senior citizen centers and folk festivals in Maine to the 50th National Folk Festival and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, DC. Audiences can’t sit still when they hear Ben and Toots engaging blend of Franco-American, Irish, Canadian, and Western Swing music.
