His father, Marc Savoy, is a well-known Cajun accordion player and maker, his mother Ann Savoy is an accomplished guitar player and singer, and his brother and older sister are also Cajun musicians. As a teenager, under the spell of Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles, Wilson fell in love with rock n\u2019 roll and blues piano, and taught himself to play. A little later, he picked up one of his dad\u2019s accordions, and later still, Cajun fiddle. <\/p>\n<p>In the mid-2000s, Wilson formed a Cajun band called the Pine Leaf Boys, recording two albums for Arhoolie, three for his brother\u2019s Valcour label, one for Lionsgate, and one Live at New Orleans Jazz Fest, garnering four Grammy nominations along the way In 2012 he won a Grammy in the Regional Roots category for the album \u201cCourtbouillon\u201d with local legends, Wayne Toups and Steve Riley. He has also appeared on three Arhoolie albums as a member of the Savoy Family Band. <\/p>\n<p>Wilson has travelled to over 30 countries, playing music in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Malaysia, Latvia, Macedonia, Italy, Denmark, Germany, France, England, and elsewhere, including two U.S. State Department tours with the Pine Leaf Boys. He was a guest actor on HBO\u2019s \u201cTreme\u201d and had a guest appearance with Sean Penn in \u201cAll the King\u2019s Men\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Today, Wilson lives in Lafayette, LA, where he spends his weeks renovating and building houses around town, and his weekends playing with the Pine Leaf Boys. He recently finished restoring and converting an historic building downtown into a new venue called The Hideaway Lounge, which will have indoor and outdoor dining, a small music stage outside for quaint concerts, and a larger stage indoors for dance bands. Allons a Lafayette!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h1 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:50;line-height:1.4;\">ABOUT WORKING FROM HOME<\/h1><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\" style=\"margin-left:25px;float:right;\"><img width=\"184\" height=\"184\" title=\"whf\" src=\"http:\/\/littlevillagefoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/whf.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1958\"\/><\/span><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Just about everyone has been affected by the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. In the music world, no one knows when the box office will open again, and even as many of us return to work in the coming weeks and months, working musicians will continue to be cut off from the clubs, dancehalls, theaters, and festivals that sustain them. And the rest of us will be cut off, too, from something we need now more than ever. So we\u2019re bringing the gigs to the artists, and the artists to you \u2014 straight from their living room to yours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking from Home,\u201d a co-production of the Arhoolie Foundation and Little Village Foundation, will feature intimate mini house concerts recorded live by traditional musicians around the country trying to make it through this current public health crisis doing what they do best. For every installment, we will provide links where you can give tips directly to the performers, and we will match the first $500 raised for each.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[23],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
