Roddie Romero & the Rockin’ Cajuns — Da’ Big Squeeze
Jazzapedia:
“By high school graduation, Romero had recorded three albums, one reaching #1 in the Netherlands, toured the U.S. and Canada multiple times, and appeared at major festivals. A pivotal moment came in his late teens at the Montreal Jazz Festival, where he discovered slide guitar during Sonny Landreth's soundcheck, expanding his style beyond accordion to blend Cajun, Zydeco, blues, swamp pop, soul, and rock. He formed Roddie Romero & the Hub City All Stars, teaming with pianist Eric Adcock, and released acclaimed albums like *The La Louisianne Sessions* (2008, Grammy-nominated) and *Gulfstream* (2016, Grammy-nominated), earning three Grammy nominations overall.
Romero's signature South Louisiana sound features soulful vocals, masterful accordion, and slide guitar, authentically capturing Acadiana's spirit while innovating through original songwriting. The band has toured internationally for over 20 years, performing at prestigious festivals and solidifying Romero's legacy as a key figure in Louisiana roots music.
