There will be live music up and down the street in Paoli on music night, but for something completely different, stop at CLUCK and spend some time with Mal-O-Dua. They play an eclectic mix of French swing and Hawaiian music. It's really a fun band and has built quite a following!

"Mal-O-Dua" or mal aux doights is French for sore and weary finger from working! The duo consists of Chris Ruppenthal and Cedric Baetche:

Ruppenthal is the leader of the group Caravan Gypsy Swing Ensemble and is primarily influenced by French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. If you have joined us for music night in the past, you have heard Caravan Gypsy Swing in the coop yard. Chris has also been known to slide around on Hawaiian steel guitar.

Baetche is a man of many arts. He was born and raised in Reims, in the Champagne region of France, and has lived in Madison for over a decade. He is a professional painter with a love of portrait, still life, and landscape painting. He studied culinary arts at MATC and is a certified French baker. Oh, and he plays a mean finger-picking style of guitar.
