Planet Zydeco

Roland Lapierre Band

PLANET ZYDECO is an exciting New England-based zydeco band that captures the essence of traditional rural-style accordion-driven dance music as it is played in clubs and dance halls in southwest Louisiana today. Bandmembers hail from the tri-state area of southern Vermont, western Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

The Planet's funky syncopated sound includes Rose Sinclair on accordion,Peter Pettengill and Nick Keil on twin electric guitars and harmony vocals,Alan Bradbury on bass, Paul McTaggart on drums, and Suzanne Wozniak on rubboard. The rubboard, or frottoir, as it is known in Louisiana, is made of corrugated metal, worn like a vest and played with spoons or bottle openers, and is a rhythmic trademark of the zydeco sound.

The band plays a popular mix of up-tempo songs, as well as slower blues-inspired numbers and traditional waltzes for enthusiastic audiences throughout the Northeast.

THE ROLAND LAPIERRE BAND plays American root music, greasy swinging country blues, a little rockabilly and hearfelt duets
