SNAPPERHEAD ZYDECO is a five -piece central Jersey band with
Louisiana heart. Always staying zydeco-centered, we draw on a
variety of styles fusing a traditional Cajun, Creole and swamp-pop
base with flavors of Latin, funk, and reggae.
Dancing is a big part of what we are about. We chose to be eclectic
so that those who are not familiar with specific Cajun and Creole
dance steps can feel comfortable and jump right in. There are
no age boundaries and we touch the young at heart. Our goal is
to just have fun and let the good times roll.
Mardi Gras is more than just a busy season for us. Its
the lively happy atmosphere we create year round, at
weddings, reunions, street fairs, corporate events, bars, festivals,
etc.
