KennyE World Music Band from Chicago, IL

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. Featuring the music of Dr. John, Neville Brothers, Funky Meters, Chubby Carrier, Edgar Winter, Terrence Simien, Bobby Rush, Little Feet, Radiators, and so on..not to mention some tasty originals. Since 1995, Hurricane Gumbo has entertained at major music fests from New Orleans to Milwaukee, plus all points in between. Presently based in the Chicago area, the band has played to packed venues throughout the Midwest----and there's nothing more authentic North of Lafayette, LA. The band has released three CD albums (with a fourth in the works) and has performed numerous live television and radio appearances...including the House of Blues, Taste of Chicago, Rock Island's Gumbo Ya Ya festival and Summerfest sharing the stage with New Orleans artists Dr. John, the Iguanas and Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band. With Hurricane Gumbo, the party never stops. That is why, one reviewer calls it "without a doubt, one of the best and liveliest party-bands anywhere"… because with Hurricane Gumbo, it's All Mardi Gras, All of the time. Leave your underwear at home.
