Cajun Roosters fans response was overwhelming.... great feedback from 400 people at Ulmer Zelt, the Cajun Roosters are masters of their trade…
...templates from the old testament of cajun, blues from the legendary Excello label, stomping zydeco and a honky-tonk in 50’s style.... with their well chosen classics and own repertoire this five piece band delivers a great swamp sound…
...the Cajun Roosters perform their very authentic mix of cajun with a side order of zydeco, swamp pop and swamp blues, and the listener feels as if they are in a dance club in Louisiana…
