 “The promo flyer proclaims ‘The Zydeco Hogs pump out some of the best high-energy Louisiana-style music to be heard outside of the Bayou State.’ I couldn¹t agree more or say it any better. They do indeed ­ deliver the goods! This Connecticut based band stands tall, at the head of the class on the East Coast, or for that matter, anywhere in the USA, outside of the Louisiana/Texas area.”

“There’s a reason why the Connecticut based River City Slim and The Zydeco Hogs are in demand as one of the most sought after touring Zydeco acts in the northeast. It’s because they consistently deliver a great live show and know exactly what material to record in order to please the growing number of Zydeco music fans in the region. Their third release entitled, “Rockin’ The Zydeco World” keeps this successful formula going through fourteen wonderfully delivered covers and one original title track. “Rockin’ the Zydeco World” once again proves that River City Slim and The Zydeco Hogs have their fingers on the pulse of Zydeco and Cajun music.”

“River City Slim & The Zydeco Hogs perform the spirited blend of Cajun, Creole, and rhythm & blues music that is Zydeco.  People come from all over New England for the soulful, pulsating, uplifting music… “
