Treater
Le Traiteur De Bayou
Treater - Traiteur
(To Heal - Healer)
Out of the bayou country South Louisiana,
emerges a band of musicians, who recognize the healing properties of music. Like their "Traiteur" ancestors before
them, who treated with the power of faith, and prayer, they feel that with their music, they can make you forget
your problems a while and "pass a good time."
Playing
a variety of Louisiana music, Treater has become one of the most popular bands in South Louisiana. Treater's repertoire
include Cajun Classics like: Jolie Blon and The Back Door, Swamp Pop hits like Mathilda and Red Red Wine, Cajun Country songs
like Close Every Honky Tonk and Vier Hobo, and New Orleans classic hits like Blueberry Hill, All These Things, and It's
Raining. Zydeco hits like: Don't mess with my Toot Toot, Treater's Every Body Zydeco and Bayou Boogie. Treater has backed up Louisiana stars such as Grammy award winner: Rockin'
Sidney (Toot Toot) Gold record artists Johnnie Allan (Promise Land), and Joe Barry (I'm A Fool To Care), plus Warren
Storm, Rod Bernard, Jerry Raines, Hall of Famer Vin Bruce, Curtis Coubello and Lady Esther - Queen of the Bayou. Treater has
also opened for such nationally known acts such as Jo-el
Sonnier, T- Graham Brown, John Conlee and Clay Walker.
Touring
