Blake Miller and the Old Fashioned Aces
Blake Miller & the Old-Fashioned Aces are a traditional Cajun band based in Lafayette, Louisiana, formed around 2017 by Blake Miller and his wife, Amelia Biere. They’re known for going against the trend—instead of modernizing Cajun music, they lean hard into the classic, old-school sound.
Think of them as the musical version of a good homemade gumbo—simple, rich, and rooted in tradition with songs in Cajun French and English. They intentionally stay within the “well-worn tracks” of Cajun music instead of experimenting with modern fusion. This is not just a sit-and-listen to kind of band. They often play dance-focused music in dance halls and at festivals.
This band is part of a group of musicians working to preserve Cajun French music traditions, keep the dancehall culture alive, and pass the music on through teaching and performing. Blake hosts a radio show (“La Lou Jukebox”) on KRVS.org.

Geno Delafose (born February 6, 1971 in Eunice, Louisiana) is a zydeco accordionist and singer. He is one of the younger generations of the genre who has created the sound known as the nouveau zydeco. His sound is deeply rooted in traditional Creole music with strong influences from Cajun music and also country and western. His father is the famous zydeco accordion player John Delafose.
Delafose was born and raised in Eunice, Louisiana. At the age of eight, he joined his father’s band, the Eunice Playboys as a rubboard player and continued to play with the band until his father’s death in 1994. He also appeared on several of the bands recordings. He switched to the accordion in the early 1990s and started to play as an opening act for his father.
In 1994, he debuted with album French Rockin’ Boogie on Rounder Records. The name of this album also became the name of his band with whom he still plays with today. He released two more albums from the label, before signing with Time Square label to release Everybody’s Dancin’ in 2003. He has also appeared on the compilation album Creole Bred: A Tribute to Creole & Zydeco released in 2004 on Vanguard Records.
