Get submersed in true cajun culture. What a experience. Marc is a true southern gentleman. He took time out of his busy schedule to show us the making of an accordion. Watching Marc Savoy is truly watching a great master doing his art. This is an experience we will all remember with true awe.

My hubby played his guitar with a group of cajuns at the Savoy. It was such a fun experience for him! The only downside is the Savoy is such a small area and there was not enough seating for all the people that came.

This is the type of place that exudes what rural America once was. Friendly greeting for the musician who wants to join in the Saturday jams and warm welcomes for those who simply want to watch.

Having visited the Savoy Music Center jam session several times over the years, I enjoyed it again this weekend. The sessions are well described in my previous review but things are changing in that it has been "found"! When arriving late this weekend I found standing room only and a formal tour group there enjoying the jam session.. I attend... More

I attended for the second time recently and if you want to see some local authentic folks having a good time playing and singing the cajun music this is the place. The musicians are of all ages, and play most every instrument you can... More
