Cleoma’s Ghost is a Cajun Duo who
play traditional and old-time fiddle-based Cajun music. They have been crafting
their musical style together over the past 12 years. Originally they performed
as part of a larger dance-hall band and then, realizing they shared a similar
musical vision, distilled their sound into the current incarnation of Cleoma’s
Ghost. Their energy, passion and drive can be felt in their music whether on
the dance floor, at a house dance, in a theater or in the intimacy of a white
table clothed restaurant. One of the consistent comments they have gotten over
the years is about how much sound, energy and joie de vivre two people can
conjure in an evening or afternoon of performing. The music speaks for itself, clearly Cleoma’s Ghost loves
what they do.

Buffy Lewis: guitar and vocals. Buffy’s driving guitar style is the backbone of Cleoma’s Ghost and she was a nominee in 2005 for the Cajun French Music Association’s award for Best Female Cajun Vocalist. Buffy is also a dynamic instructor of the traditional Cajun dances. She even gets the most reluctant participants up and having fun on the dance floor.
Roger’s
fiddle style has emerged into a complex blend of Creole and Cajun
styles. His fiddle playing is heartfelt and very traditionally Cajun,
a spicy blend of influences from mentors he has studied with down on the
bayou over the years.
