(Opelousas, LA) — Music and Market in Opelousas continues Friday, May 11th, with Jamie Bergeron & the Kickin’ Cajuns.

With six CD’s under their belt, the band has become one of the most sought after acts playing along the Gulf Coast at festivals, events and clubs. When he’s not playing music, Bergeron is a paramedic for Acadian Ambulance, where he’s worked for more than 20 years.
