Creole Fiddling With Ed Poullard
Ed Poullard plays an older style of Creole French music, having studied twice under Creole fiddle legend Canray Fontenot, courtesy of two Texas Folklife grants. In addition to teaching some more obscurer songs youve likely never played before, he will demonstrate how the elements of his style can be incorporated into songs you already know. In a 2015 interview with journalist Herman Fuselier, Poullard explained that the difference between Cajun and Creole fiddling is predicated on the bowing technique and the rhythm played to obtain a funkier, blues-related sound thatll drive audiences wild. Poullard has instructed at many music camps including the Augusta Heritage Cajun-Creole Week and Folkroots Balfa Camp. He encourages students to listen to recordings by Canray Fontenot, his brother Danny Poullard, Cedric Watson and of course, himself.
