Live Music
Geno Delafose and French Rockin' Boogie at CC City Hall-Free
Thursday, August 5, 2010| < Previous Event | Back to Calendar | Next Event > |
Hailing from the small town of Eunice, deep in Southwest Louisiana's bayou country, the Grammy nominated Geno cut his musical teeth at the age of seven in his father's legendary John Delafose & the Eunice Playboys ensemble. Now 38, he and his house-rocking band, French Rockin' Boogie, have tapped the wealth of inspiration found in the traditional Cajun and Creole repertoires and created their own rich gumbo of Cajun, Zydeco, R & B, country and blues. By taking his explosive live show to nearly 200 arts centers, festivals and nightclubs each year, Geno Delafose has undeniably earned his place as "...the young hope of traditional zydeco." (The Boston Herald). Living Blues magazine praised La Chanson Perdue , the latest of Geno Delafose's three Rounder Records CDs, as "...one of the most remarkable releases in the new era of Zydeco."
