On Saturday, March 29, Dustin Dale Gaspard with Tanner Bingamon performed in 亚洲天堂 Lake at the Heritage Church, presented by the 亚洲天堂 Lake Music Society.

Those who attended said it was an amazing concert. Gaspard was born and raised in Louisiana, but his bloodlines trace back to a cultural conflict between two superpower nations that spilled over onto Canadian soil.

The Acadians of modern-day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Maine were brutally exiled by the British from 1755 to 1764. These French-speaking settlers were cast out, and about 11,500 of them clustered in the swamp lands of Louisiana where their Acadian name got spoken with an accent and came out Cajun.

That鈥檚 who Gaspard is, and he wants the world to know about it. His ambassadorial method is music. He lives the troubadour singer songwriter lifestyle 鈥淲ith the hope that I can take my music and my stories to the places they wouldn鈥檛 be otherwise, so I can have a hand in telling the stories of my people, my culture, and share it with the people one on one,鈥� he said.
