“Professional. Punctual. Entertaining. ”
Overview
In the heart of Lafayette, where Cajun spirit meets creative fervor, Prends Courage was born. This dynamic band is a testament to the power of music to transcend time and circumstance, inspired by the passing of Christopher Stafford and the enduring legacy of Feufollet’s “Prends Courage”.
With a sonic tapestry woven from the threads of tradition and innovation, Prends Courage conjures the essence of Cajun music's past, present, and future. Jamie Lynn Fontenot’s guitar and vocals, Luke Huval’s accordion and angelic vocals, Elise Riley’s drums, Jo Vidrine's bass, and Kelli Jones’s fiddle and vocals blend in a joyful celebration of life, love, and resilience.

August 4, 2022Amazing Cajun Band
Daquiri Queens we’re exactly what we wanted. Our opening reception Cajun style to 350 CPA society staff and AICPA members at the Ritz in New Orleans was a huge success. They set the celebratory tone. Everyone danced, ate meat pies and couchon de lait and enjoyed each other at our Fais do do. Thank you for your professional and wonderful talent.

July 13, 2022Daquiri Queens are a must at your event.
John and Jamie Lynn coordinated a great ensemble of Cajun songs for our Fais do do. We had a welcome event for 300+ Aicpa members and staff for their interchange conference. Their music kept the crowd engaged and asking for more. They played the whole 2 hours with no break. They were on time and very easy to work with. Thank you gif salad for making this reservation so efficient and stress free.

October 10, 2021Awesome music
First time to visit the Hideaway on Lee. Loved the atmosphere. But when the Daiquiri Queens started playing, it was over the top enjoyable. My date & I danced almost every song & when we weren’t dancing, we were so enjoying the sound of this band. Beautiful harmony & great Cajun sound the we love. Can’t wait to hear them again.
