Although Feufollet has often been hailed as the future of Cajun music, a more current assessment must admit that they are now the present of Cajun music. Once idolized at at early age for their precocious musicianship and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Acadiana's cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young adults. While Feufollet remains central to the neotraditionalist brush fire they helped ignite as youths, their latest album finds the band coming into its own and pushing the envelope, leading the way once again as Cajun music extends itself into a new century. Virginia residents, Jeff and Brian Brown-Hill, received their first acoustic guitar and began taking lessons in the summer of 2003. In the summer of 2005, the fraternal twins, who were 9 years old at the time, began attending open mic night at Bella Bagel Café in Stafford, Virginia. In October 2005, they bought used electric guitars and began playing more of their favorite genre, the blues. Having been chided so many times about playing the blues at their age, they came up with a trademark slogan "Never too young to play the blues."
