Out of the bayou country of south Louisiana emerges a band of musicians who recognize the healing properties of music.
Like their "traiteur" ancestors before them, who treated with the power of faith and prayer, they feel that with their music, they can make you forget your problems for a while and "pass a good time".
Playing a variety of Louisiana music, Treater has become one of the most popular bands in south Louisiana. Treater's repertoire include Cajun classics like Jolie Blon and The Back Door, Swamp Pop hits like Mathilda and Red, Red Wine, Cajun Country songs like Close Every Honky Tonk and Vier Hobo, and New Orleans classic hits like Blueberry Hill, All These Things,and It's Raining. Hits like Don't Mess With My Toot-Toot and Treater's own Everybody Zydeco will surely pull you onto the dance floor.-
Treater has backed Louisiana stars such as Grammy award winner Rockin' Sydney (My Toot-Toot), Gold record artists Johnnie Allan(Promised Land), and Joe Barry (I'm A Fool To Care), plus Warren Storm, Rod
Bernard, Jerry Raines, Curtis Coubello, and Hall of Famer Vin Bruce.
Treater has also opened for such nationally known acts as Jo-el Sonnier, T-Graham Brown, John Conlee and Clay Walker.
Venues throughout Louisiana, the entire gulf coast, Minnesota,Iowa, Michigan, and the Carribean have hosted these musical "healers".
Band Members are: Calvin Parfait Jr.--Charlie Duthu--Alvin Parfait--Troy Billiot--Lady Esther
