Wall Street Journal
Rosie Ledet, "The Zydeco Sweetheart" from Church Point, Louisiana, has made quite a name for herself....having captured three of the "Best Of The Best" awards from Offbeat Magazine, including "Best Zydeco Band or Performer", "Best New Zydeco Group or Performer", and "Best Vocalist". Rosie is one of the few younger Zydeco musicians who still writes and sings some of her material in Creole French. One of a handful of women in Zydeco, her warm stage presence combined with the infectious Zydeco beat, makes her irresistible to audiences.

Don't Miss this Band - Top Notch Let's Zydeco NY , Connolly's Pub, 121 W 45th St, New York, NY 10036-4004 , Wood Dance Floor, No Smoking Admission $20, Doors Open 5:30PM, Zydeco dance lesson 6:00PM Groovin' and danceable music influenced by Do-wop, Salsa, Bluegrass, Ska, Reggee and just plain kickin' Rock and Roll... Like Johnny says during their shows, "we put a New York edge to that Creole sound and when we hit the stage we don't fool around."
Indeed, their audiences are treated to a "ferocious dance groove" that captured the Louisiana sound, and is appreciated by dancers who are always looking for that Zydeco beat that forces you to move. Even if they don't know the steps, everyone in the audience is on the floor moving something as soon as that diatonic accordion starts pullin', yea u right!
The band has repeatedly drawn a "highly recommended" rating from "Time Out NY" magazine for it's NYC shows, was recommended by "The New Yorker", was recently featured on the ABC TV show "Cupid", and has played to packed dance floors at our dances at Connolly's in the past.
Advance tickets not needed -- pay at the door, everyone will get in. Connolly's has a tasty and reasonably priced dinner menu, a full bar, and a beautiful sprung wooden dance floor. There is no minimum. The LETS ZYDECO shows are friendly community events, set up for dancing, socializing or listening. We welcome your attendance.

Leroy Thomas, "The Jewel Of The Bayou," was born in Lake Charles, LA into a very musical family. His famous father, Leo, is one of the most famous zydeco drummers. Leroy picked up the drums at age 8, and soon progressed to the accordion, and he has barely stopped since. Leroy is a real showman, and puts on a high level show. Zydeco's infectious accordion and rubboard driven-party-all-night sound that was born in the bayou and dance halls of SW Louiaiana can now be heard throughout the world.

Feufollet has built upon a regional popularity, becoming an attraction at folk festivals and performance venues not only in the South, but throughout the United States and French Canada.
The buzz: "They're just really a hot, young group, their music is made for dancing; its hard to stay in your seat...The melody's escapingly familiar, its Cajun with a Celtic tinge, and its Beausoleil-like drive catches you off guard... Everyone who saw this group was blown away by their musicianship!"
