Description
he hardworking Mark St. Mary Louisiana Blues & Zydeco Band has been a favorite of Cajun/zydeco festival crowds for years and was voted best zydeco band of 2007 by the Bay Area Blues Society. Based in the Sacramento Delta town of Antelope, St. Mary began playing accordion when he was 15, inspired originally by “King of Zydeco” Clifton Chenier. Singing in English and Creole French, St. Mary leads his band through his original songs, interspersed with dance floor favorites from Chenier’s “I’m Coming Home” and the classic Harry Choates version of “Jolie Blon” to Rockin’ Sidney’s “Don’t Mess with My Toot Toot.” Along with St. Mary, the band is rubboard player Bobby Benoit, bassist-singer David Rees, guitarist Scott “Gringo” Williams, and drummer Steve Namle.
