“Rockin’
Ralph’s Roadhouse, ” is a musical about the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina and its impact on bar patrons at a roadhouse
outside of New Orleans. Listening to this album is like taking a
virtual stroll through the streets of the French Quarter hearing
the sounds of Cajun, Zydeco, Blues, and Swamp Pop originals swirling
in the sultry air. It’s all very lively and danceable foot
stompin’ music drawn from the traditions of American Roots
Music.
The Squeezebox Stompers plays a multitude of instruments including:
piano and Cajun accordions, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, harmonica,
acoustic bass, triangle, rub-board, and drums, with the entire band
singing lead and harmony vocals.
As veteran performers for the past 25 years, various members of
the band have distinguished themselves as music award winners: Ralph
Tufo has won 4 Boston Music Awards as a former member of the Boogaloo
Swamis; Larry Plitt was the 2007 winner of the Boston Folk Festival
Songwriting Contest.
