Grammy-winning Cajun musician and Eunice native Wilson Savoy is a driving force in modern Louisiana roots music best known as the leader of the high-energy Pine Leaf Boys.
Steeped in the region's deep cultural traditions, Savoy's musical footprint extends across multiple acclaimed configurations, including the Savoy Family Band, The Band Courtbouillon with Wayne Toups & Steve Riley & Eric Frey, collaborations with Jourdan Thibodeaux, and jazz-inflected blues side projects alongside his mother, Ann, and brother, Joel Savoy.
Beyond his extensive touring and recording career — having performed live in 25+ countries — he has shared Louisiana culture on screen with a three-episode guest cameo on HBO's Treme and in the classroom teaching Cajun music at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, as well as a brief cameo alongside Sean Penn in All the King's Men.
An experienced carpenter who spent years building homes and porches around the Lafayette area, Savoy applies that same hands-on dedication to his local community as co-owner of Hideaway on Lee and the expansive dancehall The Sidecar.
Whether on the accordion or piano, Savoy's music is famously raw, bluesy, and powerful — prioritizing unadulterated emotion and spontaneous improvisation over a polished show so that audiences hear something entirely new every single night.
