Cocoa Creppel and Cannes Brulees
Cannes Brulees (Burnt Cane) is a contemporary
Native American musical group. Comprised of members of the Houma,
Cherokee and Choctaw tribes, this group's music is a wonderful
combination of rock 'n roll, aboriginal soul and good old New
Orleans rhythm and blues! Fronted by August 'Cocoa' Creppel (vocals,
percussion), and backed by Chris Young (guitar, vocals), Gene
Bates (drums, vocals), Rick Tobey (guitar, vocals), and Roland
Fangue (bass, vocals), Cannes Brulees combine their diverse musical
influences into a glorious 'gumbo' that is as unique and authentic
as the city they reside in, New Orleans. Their powerful vocals,
heartfelt lyrics and sterling songwriting create a sound that
is a one-of-a-kind expression, contemporary in feel, but steeped
in the history, traditions and culture of the southeast. The ancestral
homeland to so many tribes, the gulf south provides much of the
inspiration for Cannes Brulees' music.
