Summary

35 images of Vincent and Louise Boyea posing inside and outside of their home. Vincent (fiddle) and Louise (piano) Boyea are retired dairy farmers from the Quebec border community of Westville and active traditional musicians, Vincent on the fiddle and Louise on piano. From musical families, Vincent’s grandmother and father both played fiddle and he began playing when he was six. Louise’s Danish father played fiddle at home, mostly tunes in the Franco-American tradition of Louise’s mother. All four of their children are musicians and the family occasionally gets together to play as a group. Vincent was inducted into the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame in Osceola in the summer of 2004. The Boyeas are 2006 TAUNY North Country Heritage Award recipients.
