1567314000	Live Music	Yvette Landry	Temple Sinai Synagogue	September 1, 2019	September 1, 2019	7:00 PM	9:00 PM	YVETTE LANDRY grew up in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, not far from the levees of the Atchafalaya Basin, North America’s largest swampland. It was in and around that swamp where she learned an appreciation for the music, dance, stories and language of her Cajun culture. After earning a master’s degree in education and developing a successful teaching career, she began telling stories through song. Playing a variety of instruments in several Cajun bands, Landry also fronts her own band, The Yvette Landry Band. Her debut award-winning album titled “Should Have Known” was released in 2010. (The album was named Offbeat Magazine’s “Best Country/Folk Album” and Landry “Best Country/Folk Artist”). Over the past several years, Landry has traveled the world and played countless cultural festivals and venues – from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival to the Bluebird Café in Nashville. She toured Russia and served as a Cultural Ambassador on behalf of the Library of Congress to perform at the Festival of Traditional American Music and graced the stage at both the Library of Congress and John F. Kennedy Center of Performing Arts in Washington, DC.

About Venue

A beautiful old building with great acoustics, historically renovated by The Julius Freyhan Foundation. This building is perfect for acoustic concerts and I have produced several here in the past couple of years. The building is located two doors down behind Grandmother's Buttons in St. Francisville. There is limited street parking but you can park up the street at the courthouse parking lot and along Prosperity and Royal streets close by.

Founding date
Jewish congregation formed a formal corporation known as Temple Sinai on July 12, 1901. Construction began on July 22, 1902 and was completed in January 1903.
