Les Miseres (pronounced Lay-Me-Zair) is red-hot band from Edinburgh that brings the exuberant, sizzling Cajun sound of Louisiana to Scotland. Les Miseres was formed in Edinburgh in 2001 by Deaf Heights Cajun Aces accordionist Kim Tebble, guitarist Riley Briggs, and Cajun-style fiddler Brian Tipa from North Carolina. The band now performs as a rockin' 6 or 7 piece with funky rhythm section, two fiddlers, accordion, rubboard, vocals in French and guest soloists.
