Artist Biography
A well-respected singer, instrumentalist, record producer, author, and historian, Ann Savoy is one of the key figures in the revival of Cajun music in the 1980s and '90s, though her tastes and talents hardly begin and end with the music of Louisiana. With Marc Savoy and Michael Doucet, she was one third of the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band, who championed traditional Cajun music at a time when it was largely forgotten outside Louisiana, and put her personal spin on traditional music with her own group, the Magnolia Sisters, as well as writing and compiling the award-winning book Cajun Music: A Reflection of a People. She also collaborated with Linda Ronstadt in the Zozo Sisters on 2006's Adieu False Heart, explored French gypsy jazz on 2007's If Dreams Come True, and cut a wide-ranging set of rock, pop, and folk favorites on 2024's Another Heart.
