SWAMP SOUL Blues/Zydeco/Cajun/Creole Dance Band November 13, 2010

THE SOUND OF A CAJUN FIDDLE in a cypress grove at the edge of the great swamp. The chank-a-chank of an accordion and the shuffle of feet on a dance floor on a warm night.

These are the sights and sounds that captivated us when we first
visited southwest Louisiana. It is a culture so different from ours;
it seems almost everyone plays an instrument, if only to bang on an
iron triangle or rattle some spoons.

We bring that feel to our dances in the Seattle area, where a
city-dweller can experience the community of dance, where listeners
can transport to the farm and bayou area roadhouse.

SWAMP SOUL performs the dance music from Southwest Louisiana, a mixture of French, blues, and zydeco music that still moves dancers
around the world. The core musicians have traveled extensively in
Louisiana, learning tunes and style from Louisiana musicians. The
accordionist and fiddler have performed this music for 20 years in
this area, and are backed up by experienced guitarists and
percussionists to create a dance groove that excites the feet and
invites friendship.

Plenty of friendly new people to meet and dance with. Great food and libations, lots of free parking.
