Catahoula Blue
Let the good times roll with Beth McKee and Catahoula Blue! The Catahoula Blue repertoire consists of rockin’ Cajun and Zydeco, mixed with a Delta blues and Memphis soul, served with a steaming pot of New Orleans R&B favorites. Relocated from the swamps of Louisiana to the swamps of Florida, this group provides the best in smokin’ roots music from the BBQ to the bayou. Performing on accordion, piano and lead vocals, Beth McKee is a musical veteran who has toured and recorded with the likes of Jimmy Buffet and Buckwheat Zydeco. Her husband, Juan Perez, on drums and percussion, was a long-time member of the Bellamy Brothers Band and has performed on many hit recordings for them and other artists. Accompanied by an equally talented band of seasoned professionals (available in 3 to 7 pieces), Catahoula Blue will keep the Gumbo pot boiling from start to finish.

Zydecajun – a mixture of zydeco and Cajun music. It’s ethnic, a spicy gumbo of influences from a recipe that was born in the swamps of Southern Louisiana in the late 1700’s. Cajun applies to the white descendants of the French Canadian exiles – Acadians – who settled in southwest Louisiana during the late 18th Century. Zydeco has blues and R&B roots mixed with Cajun. It emerged in the dance halls of the French speaking black Creoles in the 1940’s.
