Episode 8 of Here We Are SWLA features Ganey Arsement.Meeting Ganey was quite the experience as he shared his story and heart felt original songs with us while imparting much of his wisdom and passions throughout his career.Working for nearly twenty years as a bassist in great Cajun bands such as Balfa Toujours and the Basin Brothers, he has shared the stage with Doug Kershaw, Jo-EL Sonnier and many others. After a series of events led him to an opportunity to move to the front of the stage, a reluctant Ganey was reminded by a friend of a French poem he had written while in college pursuing his degree in English literature. In 2009, he showcased his songwriting skills in the form of a full length recording with his acoustic Cajun trio, the LakeSide Gamblers.

As always we hope you enjoy it as much as we did and can’t wait for you to meet our guest, Ganey Arsement!
