FWP is so excited to host the Cajun Banjo, Geoffrey Muller, to continue our Community Center Concert Series! On April 10th from 6-7:30 pm, bring the family and friends for a fine “fais-do-do”, FREE and open to all! Maybe we will even have a little dance lesson before the music starts!
Here’s an excerpt about the artist from Outsmart: “With a career influenced by a wide range of music, a personal style that caught GQ’s eye, and a penchant for creating unique, one-of-a-kind crafts (his Instagram features his incredible embroidery skills) Muller is an eclectic Houston artist worth watching.
“Music has been my full-time job since my mid-20s,” the 43-year-old musician says. “I’ve played guitar since I was 12 or 13. My dad had mentioned that he always wanted to play the banjo. I don’t know if I’d ever even heard one before then, but I asked for one and got it for Christmas. I’m self-taught, mainly by books. I’d pore over them.”
Eventually lending his talents to artists including Robert Ellis, Joshua Ray Walker, and Ethiopian pop musician Gili Yalo, to name a few, Muller says “I travel the world now, and people ask me if I’m Cajun Banjo,” Muller says with laughter as he describes people recognizing his Instagram handle.”

The Community Center Concert Series was founded in 2023 with the goal of “bringing music back to the park.” The Woodland Community Center has a long history of concerts and dances dating back to the 1950s and including such artists as Kenny Rogers, a student at what is now Northside High School! Thanks to FWP Music Director Loreta Kovacic for bringing these shows to Woodland Park and to HPARD for partnering with FWP to host these events.
