IGNATIUS REILLY RELEASES
“ACADIANA CONTRADANCE”

Second single from forthcoming album “Superstitions Fade.”

Ignatius Reilly releases “Acadiana Contradance”, the second single from their forthcoming album “Superstitions Fade.”

“Acadiana Contradance” was largely written by keyboardist Ethan Ice. The song was inspired in part with his interaction with Col. Bruce Hampton at a musicians retreat in upstate New York, which is referenced in the lyrics. Ethan describes the track as “just a song that doesn’t take itself too seriously about living life to the fullest, and the characters that you meet on the road that show you the light.”

The song has been a work in progress for quite some time and through different band projects, before finally being fully realized for the new Ignatius Reilly album. It draws on Ice’s influences in New Orleans styled music, and the title “Acadiana” references French Louisiana Cajun and Creole population.

“Acadiana Contradance” also features an outstanding guest vocal appearance by Brennan Kammerer, a rising star in the Denver and Fayetteville music communities.

This song is definitely a “get up and get dancing” number and sizzles with the trademark Ignatius sound venturing into some serious NOLA groove.
