Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble
Leroy Thomas, "The Jewel Of The Bayou," was born in Lake Charles, LA into a very musical family. His famous father, Leo, is one of the most famous zydeco drummers. Leroy picked up the drums at age 8, and soon progressed to the accordion, and he has barely stopped since. Leroy is a real showman, and puts on a high level show. Zydeco's infectious accordion and rubboard driven-party-all-night sound that was born in the bayou and dance halls of SW Louiaiana can now be heard throughout the world.
Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic will capture your attention and serve up an unparalleled musical experience that captivates your soul. If you like to dance, Andre will have you moving your feet all night long. As the late great Clifton Chenier once said about Zydeco, "if you dance, your aches and pains will disappear." Andre is a virtuoso on all the accordion types, single row, double row, triple row and piano key. He effortlessly moves across types to deliver an energetic two-step, traditional Creole waltz, hard-driving blues or a blend that is his own sound.

Girl Howdy
We just love this band so...we're bringin them back for a night of rockabilly & country swing
Girl Howdy roars into town on a mission keeping the honky-tonk torch burning bright! This a 5-piece combo features an all-gal frontline tearing it up on steel guitar, piano, flat top guitar and soaring vocal harmonies, backed by a top-notch rhythm section on upright bass and drums. Hogwild for raw twang, this band plows through their retro-based repertoire with energy, enthusiasm and utter devotion.
Like his "edgy" Zydeco/R&B musical style, 33 year old Taylor is setting a trend with the mainstream Zydeco audience today as a business man. He has already established his own signature line of Curley Taylor shirts, featuring a poised country boy, clad in baggy pants, cap, covered face, with an accordion in hand. "I'm trying to catch people who never really listened to Zydeco before...that thought it was just chanky-chank and old people's music."
