YVETTE LANDRY • Bass / T-fer / Vocals
Yvette is a native of Breaux Bridge. While she migrated to Lafayette for a while, she has since returned to her home in St. Martin parish. As a former Crawfish Queen, Yvette brings a regal air and poise to the Rhythm Devils bandstand and has since been deemed “Queen of Cajun Bass.”
Yvette comes from a long and venerable line of musicians. Her grandfather, Lucien Landry of the Bill Landry Orchestra and The Louisiana Six, was among one of most important working musicians from the 1930s into the 1950s. Her grandmother, Viola Hebert Landry of New Iberia, was a musician as well, playing with her brothers Wilton, Noah, Cap and the rest of the Hebert clan in The Louisiana Six.
Yvette is an accomplished musician and a classically trained pianist and has toured with orchestras throughout the United States and Europe. As a bass-player, however, she provides a rock-solid backbone and she can often be seen keeping the rhythm section in line.
