"Joe Hall’s Creole Story" explores the unique history of a Louisiana Creole music and its impact on Joe’s community, as well as audiences throughout the world. Growing up in a family of musicians surrounded by many diverse cultures created a fertile ground for Joe to become an accomplished accordion player and band leader. His story is truly an American phenomenon, brought to Louisiana through a history of bondage as well as freedom, only to see it develop into an art form seemingly natural to the bayous and prairies of SW Louisiana. This film is made in collaboration with Joe Hall and Mark Palms, and supported by a grant from the New Orleans Jazz and History Foundation, and support from Fruge Records. Learn more on Joe’s website.
