This
band played their unique blend of Louisiana musical
styles for 15 years. The group has made several recordings
and has appeared with Queen Ida, Katie "Queen of the Swamp
Boogie Piano" Webster, Buckwheat Zydeco and the Sundogs,
as well as appearing on TV, radio and at a number of music
festivals over the years.
Whether it's Rockin' Cajun, Zydeco Soul, New Orleans Rhythm & Blues,
Swamp Pop, Dixieland, Country Blues, Tex-Mex, Western Swing
or other Southern idioms, they make you feel like you're
on the bayous of Southwestern Louisiana or Eastern Texas,
and it's party time!
The group has received enthusiastic responses from radio
across the West, and made a splash on the "beach music" charts
in the Carolinas as well - their version of "I Like It Like
That" (from the 1992 album Bon Ton Two Tone) reached #16
while staying on the charts for months in 1996. We hear they're "shaggin" to
a few songs from Big Big Love now. The band's CD Mardi Gras
In New Orleans made it to #2 on the charts of German magazine
Blues News. The band's fourth CD, titled Travellin'
Mood, is out and available now.

The leader of this band has 25 years of professional experience and
has been playing music in the Northwest since 1990. In 1997 his band was
a Cascade Blues Association Muddy Award nominee for Best New Act. In
2006 he did a short stint in the band “Double Deuces” which was then
nominated for Best New Act. He was also nominated in 2006 by the Cascade
Blues Association in the Best Vocalist category in a final field of
three that included Curtis Salgado.
This artist has the ability to give a song what it asks for, what it
needs, while at the same time putting his own indelible stamp on it
making it his own. He is also a prolific songwriter and writes many of
the songs the band performs. These first class compositions are among
the many things that set this combo apart from others in their field.
