The Wild Catahoulas

The Wild Catahoulas is the newest Cajun/ Zydeco band in the North Bay, merging the traditional Cajun French two-steps and waltzes from Southwestern Louisiana with the more contemporary Zydeco and New Orleans sounds. In other words, a GREAT dance band.

Fiddler Gus Garelick comes to the band with years of Cajun experience from such groups as Queen Ida and the Bon Ton Zydeco Band, Al Rapone and Zydeco Express, The Sonoma Swamp Dogs, and The Cajun Coyotes. Joining Gus is accordion maestro Dennis Hadley, formerly with The Cajun Coyotes and currently with The Hot Frittatas, Allegra Broughton and Sam Page, vocals, guitar, and bass, with Solid Air, and drummer Don Connolly, with the Sonoma County Love Choir. The Wild Catahoulas will get everyone on the dance floor. When you’re ready to “laissez les bon temps roulez,” this is the band to call!

*The official state dog of Louisiana: hard-working and bi-lingual. A survivor.
