“Born of a time when family and friends would gather in the warmth of the kitchens of Québec and New Brunswick to play and dance time-honoured tunes together, La Famille Léger keeps that rich tradition vitally alive. The Légers play the dancing music of French Canada - the music handed down through generations in the New World, the music of back porches and kitchen parties. Patriarch Louis Léger leads the band on the one-row melodeon (a type of button accordion), son Devon plays fiddle, Devon's mom Barbara plays guitar and his wife, Dejah is on piano. This proudly "old school" family band will have your own family dancing and joining in on the fun”

"Au Québec et au Nouveau-Brunswick, il fut un temps où la famille et les amis se réunissaient dans la cuisine pour faire de la musique, chanter et danser. La Famille Léger garde cette riche tradition du bon vieux temps bien vivante. Les Léger jouent la musique à danser du Canada français, des mélodies transmises de génération en génération dans le Nouveau Monde et des airs pour fêter sur la véranda ou dans la cuisine. Avec son mélodéon (un accordéon à boutons), le patriarche Louis Léger dirige la famille, composée de son fils Devon au violon, de la mère de Devon, Barbara, à la guitare, ainsi que de la femme de Devon, Dejah, au piano. Cette famille de la « vieille école » saura amuser et faire danser toute la famille!"

We are a true family band who play Acadian and French-Canadian music from Eastern Canada. We live in Seattle, Washington and play Contra Dances, concerts, festivals, and even dinner parties.  Devon Leger plays fiddle, Dejah plays piano, guitar, sings & stepdances, Barb plays guitar, and Louis plays accordion, fiddle, spoons, and sings.  Louis hails from a distinctive Acadian family from New Brunswick, and spent much of his youth in Québec City.  In fact, if you ever venture to Québec City, you can see the military house he grew up in right at the city gates, lined with cannons!  That's a picture of it to the left.
