Gregg
Martinez and the Delta Kings
Gregg Martinez, who's blend of blues, R&B and Swamp Pop
music he describes as "bayou blues and Creole soul", was
born and raised and still lives in the Cajun country of
South Louisiana where he began singing in church at the
age of eight. Ten years later, he was singing
professionally. His powerhouse voice, which has been
compared to Sam Cooke and Luther Vandross, took him from
the bars and nightclubs of the bayou country to some of
the finest resorts, casinos, and clubs
throughout the nation. The
late Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes,
upon seeing him perform at the New Orleans Jazz and
Heritage Festival in 2005, called Gregg one of America's
greatest hidden treasures. His talent is the stuff of
legend and even after more than 30 years, Gregg is
better than ever. He has performed throughout the US and
abroad and has released nine recordings and his music is
aired on radios in the US and abroad. He has shared the
stage with many notable artists including Stevie Wonder,
Foreigner, BTO, Dobie Gray, Shirley Caesar, Patti
LaBelle, Bobby "Blue" Bland to name a few. He was
recently selected to the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.
Gregg and his band, the Delta Kings will be an
entertaining and exciting group to play on the Patterson
Cypress Sawmill Festival stage!

now refers to as "high energy, swamp funky zydeco.
Chubby has taken his music worldwide and has shared the

more. He was also

South
70 Band
Welcome to South 70 Band! They
are a seven piece band who that were all born and bred
in south Louisiana. They started out as just a group of
friends jamming together in the shed and somewhere along
the way they went from not sounding too badly to decent
enough that people wanted to hear them (which still
blows their minds). South 70 Band plays a mixture of
Zydeco, swamp pop, Cajun, country and more! The members
are all local boys from the small town of Pierre Part,
LA. There's one street that runs north and south through
town, Louisiana Highway 70. Their town may be small but
it's all heart! |

the artists live. To achieve this, 90 Degrees West has

Members
Only Band
Members Only Band's first CD
was called "Keeping It Simple". Keeping it simple was
the first priority when seven guys from four different
parishes decided to form a musical group. The passion
for camping and making music is what drives the group to
meet once a month from March to September to entertain
campers at "Yogi Bear's Jellystone Campground in Robert,
LA for an enjoyable South Louisiana tradition of a
Saturday night Fais-Do-Do. Growing up in different
parts of the state provides a gumbo of talent that
reflects the diversity of its members. Come out and
enjoy this band that is "Keeping It Simple".
5:00PM
Cypress Band featuring Warren Storm and
Willie Tee
The Cypress Band featuring
Warren Storm and Willie Tee originated in 1980. They
had their own weekly television show on station KADN on
Saturday afternoons. Warren Storm and Willie Tee met in
the 80s and put together the Cypress Band and played
clubs for years until the oil boom fizzled and the clubs
closed. Although the band broke up in 1984, Warren and
Willie Tee continued working together as guest with
other bands. In 2004 the two joined forces again and
reformed the band Cypress and we are blessed with their
work. The band is solid behind them and the songs fit
these two well. The bands current members consist of
Tommy Richard, Karl Bordelon, Carl Dugas and Scott
Broussard.
