Vote for Valcour artists in Best of the Beat HERE!
In addition to their Best of the Beat nominations, Feufollet and Cedric Watson both made it into offBeat’s top twenty for 2008 – see the list here.
You may recall Valcour’s strong showing in offBeat Magazine’s 2007 Best of the Beat awards, where we took away the “Best Cajun Album” award for Allons Boire un Coup and received the prestigious “Record Label of the Year” honor from the Best of the Beat business awards.
