Hurricane Gumbo is an eight-piece, Chicago-based band that combines zydeco, rhythm & blues, jazz and funk to produce a sound that can only be called one thing - Louisiana party music. Performing original material as well as New Orleans favorites, Hurricane Gumbo is a party that never stops.
Hurricane Bill Rosas, an energetic "Mexi-Cajun" born in the steamy swamps of Louisiana's Bayou country, leads the band with his fiery vocals and rockin' accordion. Hurricane Gumbo's smokin' rhythm section consists of Jon "Sleepin' Jesus" Richter on bass, Matt Daly on drums, "Kenny-E" Errant on guitar and "Zydeco" Joe Sonnefeldt on rub board, conga drums and percussion. Finally, the Hurricane Horns - a.k.a. Matt Wifler on alto sax, Chris "Brez" Brennan on tenor sax and Eric "Le Lip" AuCoin on trumpet - add tight riffs and tasty harmonies that solidify Hurricane Gumbo as one fo the finest Louisiana-influenced party bands north of the Crescent City.
For over 10 years, Hurricane Gumbo has brought the music of New Orleans to audiences across the Midwest. In addition to performing at numerous festivals and clubs throughout the Midwest, including the House of Blues, Taste of Chicago and Milwaukee's Summerfest, the group has shared the stage with numerous acts from the New Orleans area, including the Iguanas and Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band.
A donation of one dollar for every six pack of Abita's new Fleur-de-lis brew sold will be made by the Abita Brewing company to the LDRF. Also 100% of all net proceeds from their new merchandising products will be donated to the Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation.
