Big Easy Playboys
The Big Easy Playboys are based in New Orleans but draw heavily on the Zydeco and Cajun cultures that thrive all around the state of Louisiana. Incorporating the classic instruments of Cajun and Zydeco accordion, along with fiddle and the bluesy/roots rock sound of guitars and pulsing drums, Big Easy Playboys give the listeners a dose of the music that lives and breathes life into the Big Easy and the surrounding communities.
