by Craig HarrisSouthwest Louisianas traditional Cajun music is played with exuberance and dance-inspiring energy by File. While accordion player/percussionist/lead vocalist Ward Lomand and bassist/acoustic guitarist/vocalist Kevin Shearin are the only original members, the group continues to maintain the high energy of its earliest performances. Lomand and Shearin first played together in the Cajun band Cush-Cush in 1980. Raised in his fathers bar in the French-speaking Louisiana town of Ossun, on the prairie northwest of Lafayette, Lomand has been singing and playing drums since childhood. A native of the Catskill Mountains region of New York, Shearin played bass for numerous bands before moving to Louisiana. A veteran of bluegrass and country-rock bands in the Appalachian region in the 1970s, Peter Stevens (drums, washboard, spoons and bones), played with Lomand and Shearin on Files first album, Live at Mulates in 1985. The most recent additions to the group, DJalma Garnier and David Egan, joined File in the early 1990s. St. Paul, Minnesota-born Garnier inherited his love of Cajun music from his Creole father. After studying composition, arranging and orchestration with Lyle Spud Murphy, Garnier (fiddle, guitar, tenor banjo, vocals) studied Creole fiddling under a Texas Folk Life Resources grant with influential Creole fiddler Canray Fontenot. Egan, a native of Shreveport, Louisiana, majored in music at North Texas State College. In addition to playing keyboards for the swamp R&B band, A-Train, he spent three years in Jo-El Sonniers band prior to joining File in 1991. Although they initially sought to recapture the traditional sounds of Cajun music, File has increasingly incorporated elements of R&B, Dixieland jazz, rock, zydeco and Creole lala. Their 1996 album La Vie Marron reached number 18 on the Gavin Americana chart.
