RANDY VIDRINE • Guitar / Vocals

J. Randy "Frisson" Vidrine. A Ville Platte, Louisiana native, Randy now resides in Lafayette. As a child he grew up in a bilingual household, and is a rare link to a quickly disappearing past for Cajun Music. His voice is expressive, passionate, and unquestionably authentic. One feels he is in eerie time warp while Randy sings, yet many songs are new- with lyrics he has written about life today. The attitude and intensity would at times fit a heavy metal band, yet it's true to the traditions of Cajun music. “Frisson” does not play it safe- he makes each song his own. “Frisson” is more than an exciting singer to the genre of Cajun music. He is a treasure to the culture, digging up the old forgotten tunes, writing new ones, and keeping the language of his birth alive with each performance.
