The Lafayette Rhythm Devils sprang from the deep musical soil of Southwest Louisiana — a place where Cajun two‑steps, old dance‑hall country, swamp pop and honky‑tonk all share the same dance floor. Over years of playing together they’ve become one of the region’s most powerful dance bands, carrying the sound of the old halls forward while adding their own energy, musicianship and personality. The Devils don’t just play songs; they fill a room with rhythm and motion, and every member has spent a lifetime inside this music.

	•	Randy Vidrine – Randy is the lead singer and guitarist at the centre of The Lafayette Rhythm Devils. Born and raised in Ville Platte, Louisiana, he grew up speaking French and began playing guitar in high school ￼. Over the years he has toured and recorded with Cajun bands such as Tasso, Mamou Prairie Band, Charivari and the Rhythm Devils ￼. His vocals have been described as “high and lonesome” ￼, and he still plays monthly at the famed Fred’s Lounge in Mamou ￼. With Randy out front, the band always knows where the song is headed.
	•	Yvette Landry – A Grammy‑nominated singer, songwriter, multi‑instrumentalist and two‑time State of Louisiana Music Ambassador, Yvette Landry is one of the most recognisable voices in Southwest Louisiana ￼. She started playing bass in her forties and cut her teeth playing with the Lafayette Rhythm Devils ￼. She later co‑founded the Cajun group Bonsoir Catin; their album Light the Stars was Grammy‑nominated in 2015 ￼. Yvette also fronts her own country band and continues to write and record music that reflects the storytelling traditions of Louisiana.
	•	Blake Miller – Grandson of renowned accordion maker Larry Miller, Blake comes from a multi‑generational musical family in Iota, Louisiana ￼. He learned every instrument on a Cajun bandstand and started playing dances at age 14 ￼. By 17 he was touring the world with bands such as the Red Stick Ramblers, Cedric Watson &amp; Bijou Creole and the Pine Leaf Boys ￼. Today he performs with the Revelers, Old‑Fashioned Aces, Balfa Toujours, Daiquiri Queens and, of course, the Lafayette Rhythm Devils ￼. His accordion and fiddle playing carry the rhythmic lift that keeps Louisiana dance floors moving.
	•	Chris Segura – Fiddler and vocalist Chris Segura began playing music as a child and first took the stage with the Cajun band Feufollet ￼. In the mid‑2010s he stepped away from touring to build and repair violins, developing a bluesy, soulful style that often sees him literally hopping while he plays ￼. Chris brings that lift and swing to the Devils, keeping the melody and rhythm intertwined in true Cajun fashion.
	•	Jimmy Breaux – A fourth‑generation Cajun musician, Jimmy Breaux is best known as the longtime accordionist for the Grammy‑winning band Beausoleil ￼. His solo album Le Chemin Que T’as Pris won Best Album honours from the Cajun French Music Association ￼. Today he enjoys playing around Louisiana with a variety of musicians ￼. With the Rhythm Devils he’s behind the drums, keeping the beat steady and the dance floor full.
