Roddie Romero & the Hub City All-Stars - Gulfstream (2016)

GULFSTREAM was produced by legendary British producer John Porter and features a sonic blend of vintage and modern Gulf Coast roots Rock 'n' Roll and soul. Although the Hub City All Stars are well versed in the traditional Cajun & Zydeco stylings of their Bayou State, they use these roots as a launchpad for creating their own style of Louisiana roots music. Hard driving, and good times along with tear-dropping ballads make up this powerful recording featuring well-written original songs and a handful of select covers from master songsmiths.

RODDIE ROMERO & the HUB CITY ALL STARS are a renowned, Grammy nominated Louisiana band who have been performing worldwide at the most prestigious venues and festivals and venues for over 25 years. This premier Louisiana band is celebrated not only for their authenticity when performing or recording traditional Cajun and Creole music indigenous to South Louisiana, but also for their original songwriting which stays true to Louisiana inspirations. They are notorious "Louisiana-Roots-Rockers" centered around infectious grooves and soulful originals.

Behind Roddie's Romero's soulful vocals, pumping accordion and slide guitar mastery lies the Louisiana roots sound of The Hub City All Stars - funky Hammond B-3 organ, boogie-woogie piano, hard-driving upright bass, Creole drumming, and tasteful roots guitar.

American music is Roddie Romero & the Hub City All Stars — born out of the Delta dirt — rising high off the levee of traditionalism and into the future of Louisiana Music.
