GUMBOHEAD is a St. Louis-based collective of rhythmic rapscallions and tuneful tricknologists who find great joy playing music born in and influenced by New Orleans and southwest Louisiana. To hear the band is to experience the full spectrum of Louisiana dance music, including zydeco, funk, blues, jazz, r&b and traditional “second line” tunes, featuring songs by such artists as Dr. John, Buckwheat Zydeco, the Meters, Chubby Carrier, Jon Cleary, the Neville Brothers, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Iguanas, Galactic, Clifton Chenier and the inimitable Professor Longhair –– as well as a number of suitably spicy originals. Gumbohead has opened for several of these legendary performers including
the Nevilles, the Dirty Dozen, Terrance Simien, Chubby Carrier,
Jon Cleary and Buckwheat Zydeco. Recently, the band was
invited to play a private fundraiser in New Orleans with John
Boutte and Paul
Sanchez, Papa Grows Funk, Rebirth Brass Band, Papa
Mali, Shamarr Allen and The
Radiators that
helped raise more than $24,000 for the NOMC. |
