James has said :
Lafayette is Cajun country. Landry and Hébert are both very Acadian names, so I always joke that I’m about as Cajun as they come, even though I don’t sound it. A lot of my family speaks Cajun French; my cousin’s in a Grammy-nominated Cajun French band called Feufollet. They’re young and hip and sexy and sort of update the genre.
