Last Hurrah at the Second Fiddle

Celebrations, Current Events / By James Smock / March 23, 2009

A traditional Cajun band with a little Polish style rocked the house at the last live performance at the Second Fiddle Bar and Grill in Chappel Hill Texas on Saturday, March 21, 2009. Cory and Lisa McCauley’s Evangeline Aces band provided the entertainment with special guest musicians Brian Marshall on the fiddle and Chuck Bolin on the drums. Brian and Chuck normally perform with the Brian Marshall and the Tex-Slavic Playboys band but they showed off their diverse musical talents by playing right along with the McCauley’s. Of course, Brian managed to sing a Polish song or two before the evening was over.

The Second Fiddle, located in the heart of one of Washington Counties historic Polish settlements, will be closing it’s doors at the end of March.
