## Resource

In this episode of 'Exposition: An Arts + Culture Podcast', we speak with Dennis Stroughmatt. He's an Illinois-Missouri French Creole musician—a fiddler, who got his start in the region after a history professor introduced him to the French Creole communities around the Old Mines Area in Eastern Missouri, outside of Ste. Genevieve. He plays the final concert of the 2026 'Tunes at Twilight' Spring Series in downtown Cape Girardeau. The show is at the Ivers Square Gazebo on Friday, June 12th at 7 pm. The rain-out location is Gospel Life Church, 817 Broadway St.
