Good rockin’ times from this five-piece playing some solid r’n’r with elements of zydeco, blues, americana and a bit of soul. They hail from Las Vegas and are lead by accordionist Pete Contino, son of legendary accordionist Dick Contino. They employ instrumentation of guitar, bass, keys, percussion, harmonica, accordion. Mostly originals with a few covers. Features Maria Muldaur on #2. FCC #9.
