Planet Zydeco: Planet Zydeco is an exciting New England-based zydeco
band that captures the essence of traditional rural-style
accordion-driven dance music as it is played in clubs and dance halls
in southwest Louisiana today. Bandmembers hail from the tri-state area
of southern Vermont, western Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
The Planet's funky syncopated sound includes Rose Sinclair on
accordion, Peter Pettengill and Nick Keil on twin electric guitars and
harmony vocals, Alan Bradbury on bass, Paul McTaggart on drums, and
Suzanne Wozniak on rubboard. The rubboard, or frottoir, as it is known
in Louisiana, is made of corrugated metal, worn like a vest and played
with spoons or bottle openers, and is a rhythmic trademark of the
zydeco sound.
The band plays a popular mix of up-tempo songs, as well as slower
blues-inspired numbers and traditional waltzes for enthusiastic
audiences throughout the Northeast.
Bayou X: From Langdon NH & Brattleboro VT, Bayou X is southern VT/NH
areas signature high energy Cajun/Creole dance band, performing both
original and traditional Cajun & Zydeco dance music of southwest
Louisiana, as well as original and traditional music derived from the
global Creole diaspora, including New Orleans R&B, popular and
folkloric tunes from Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe & St Lucia,
Trinidadian calypso, West African Hi-Life, Congolese Rhumba, and an
ever evolving variety of Southern roots music genres.
Bayou X is led by New Orleans native, Peter Simoneaux on fiddle and
vocals, with spouse & partner Linda Simoneaux on various accordions,
fiddle and vocals. Other core members of the band as of 2019, include
Lucas Houk on electric bass, electric guitar and keys, Bob Everingham
on electric bass and electric and acoustic guitars, and Ben Carr on
drums and percussion, as well as an ever evolving list of area
collaborators on percussion, brass and reed instruments.
