Wes Thibodeaux and the Cajun Travelers will headline along with Pappy Mellon in two special Cajun Day shows at the Warm Breezes Weslaco Show today, Jan. 26. The show is hosted by Cactus Willie, Boxcar Bob and Wil the Drifter at the Weslaco Public Library auditorium at 525.S. Kansas Street. Showtimes are 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Thibodeaux and his band will be making limited appearances in the Rio Grande Valley this year. Wes is known far and wide, playing at festivals in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Colorado. Along with rich Cajun music, Wes shares his Cajun humor.

His band includes Tom Gerald, a native of Mississippi who converted his bluegrass fiddle to a Cajun fiddle to be in the band. He has been playing with Wes for the last five years.

The Gautreau Brothers, Leon and Charlie, complete the Cajun Travelers Band.  They are new to Cajun music, but grew up in Gonzales, Louisiana and have played music for more years than they like to remember.

Pappy Mellon comes from Mountain View, Arkansas where he runs a general store when not giving out sage mountain-style advice.

Add the country, gospel and patriotic music of Cactus Willie, Boxcar Bob and Wil the Drifter, and the show’s producers say it is likely to be one of the best shows of the season.

Tickets are $12 each or two for $20. Call (979) 871-8627 for tickets or reservations.
