Bayou Gumbo

About Me

Raw rhythm, gutsy playing, anarchic attitude ... tastefully deranged vocals ... lots of fun ‘ . fRoots Magazine . Bayou Gumbo have variously followed their ears and hearts into Africa, the blues, the Caribbean, Cajun, zydeco, old-time and country music, R&B… and brought back influences, songs and styles, all feeding back into their rocksy, rootsy drive and punch. All this, mixed and served up with bellows-pumping squeezebox energy, tight and subtle fiddle-bowing, pepper-hot guitar, and a bass and drum rhythm section that kicks dancers’ feet into action, means a band that fills the dance floor. “If you don’t dance to this, you must be dead” Folk Roundabout www.bayougumbo.co.uk
