About Jennifer Ewan Band
Bonnie Bayou is a 60-minute music show by Jennifer Ewan Band, performed at Partially Seated as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. The band brings a richly layered mix of tender original songs about Edinburgh, raucous swamp blues, and traditional Cajun dance music from the French Louisiana bayous. Jennifer's distinctive Scots voice, often singing Cajun French lyrics, soars over old-time Cajun dance grooves, supported by an intricate interplay of accordion, flute, fiddle, bass, percussion and acoustic guitar. Suitable for audiences aged 8 and over.
Why see this show?
A Scots voice singing Cajun French over accordion, fiddle and bass — Jennifer Ewan Band finds an unlikely but compelling crossroads between Edinburgh and the Louisiana bayous. Original, warmly performed and musically rich.
