Cowboy Mouth is New Orleans rock n' roll. Annually
presenting roughly 200 shows per year, releasing nearly a
dozen records, and featured on TV shows and radio stations
everywhere, Cowboy Mouth has been seen and heard by
millions of fans worldwide. For more than 15 years, the
members of Cowboy Mouth have preached and shouted at
the top of their lungs the joys of being alive and the joys of
being in and from New Orleans, sharing a slice of Mardi Gras
heaven with fans around the world.
Crowd participation is a must at a Cowboy Mouth show. Led by Fred's larger-than-life presence, the band's performances are high-energy and extraordinarily intense, usually leaving audiences as drenched and spent as the band.
"Cowboy Mouth is about pretending that you're five years old, naked as a jaybird and about to turn the hose on your parents, and there's not a damn thing they can do about it."

Their 1978 Capitol press release read: "LeRoux takes
its name from the Cajun French term for the thick and
hearty gravy base that's used to make a gumbo." An
incredibly true statement, given its eccentric backgrounds.
Using blues, R&B, funk, jazz, rock, and Cajun as their base, their Southern anthem "New Orleans Ladies," voted Song of the Century by Gambit Magazine, simmered with the laid-back feel of the "Big Easy," evoking images of Bourbon Street and the bayou. That song, together with their smash hit "Nobody Said It Was Easy," brings LeRoux daily airplay from Washington, DC to Baton Rouge, and they remain cult heroes to this day.
"Louisiana's LeRoux," as they were originally known, continues to infulence acts ranging from Country to Metal. If a song has big vocals, odds are the singers have heard LeRoux!

Like the many tasty ingredients in a simmering pot of gumbo,
the Cajun rock band Bayou Roux has blended years of
diverse musical backgrounds into a unique sound that they
like to call the “Cajun Commotion™”.
Founded in Houston, Texas in 1992 by Keith Dupuis, Mike Bourgeois and Ted Lee, all three from the Lafayette, LA area, Bayou Roux has grown into one of the most recognizable, good-time party bands on the US Gulf Coast. The high energy tunes of Bayou Roux combine the best of French Cajun & Zydeco classics with the beat and heat of contempoary and classic rock, jazz, country and other musical genres.
Fans have found that a pinch of rock, a scoop of county and a heapin’ helpin’ of down-home Cajun/Zydeco heritage heated to the boiling point makes for a musical experience like no other.

The Zydeco Dots, more commonly referred to just as
The Dots, originated in 1987. Back then Zydeco music itself
was advancing in popularity and The Dots were about to do
their part. Although Zydeco music was born in southern
Louisiana, the music had been played in the gulf coast
region from the Florida panhandle to south Texas since the
early 1900's.
In Houston, Texas, during the mid 80's, the music was still relatively obscure. The Dots brought Zydeco to venues where the music had never been heard before. Since then, The Zydeco Dots have won numerous awards and have been voted best Zydeco band by the Houston Press.

Founded in 1989, River Road signed to Capitol Records
Nashville in 1997, releasing their self-titled debut album that
year and charting three singles on the Billboard country
charts, including the hit "Nickajack". By 1998, River Road
had transferred to Virgin Records Nashville, charted a fourth
single and recorded its second studio album, Something in
the Water, with its lead-off single "Breathless" charting as
well. After four Billboard chart singles and five Country
Music Television videos, River Road disbanded in 2000 with
each member going in different directions.
In April of 2010, River Road once again came together for a reunion at Cowboys Night Club in Scott, Louisiana. After a very successful evening, River Road had a meeting and the decision was made to resurrect the super group. Calls were made and Nashville responded with new material and a new cd being recorded and produced.
