Lil’ Band o' Gold features some of the most influential musicians to ever have emerged from America’s most important musical state.
WARREN STORM
Warren Storm, born in Vermillion Parish, Louisiana in 1937, is considered the "Godfather of Swamp Pop'. At the age of 68, his voice is still second to none. Warren has been responsible for dozens of national and regional hit records since he first broke the US charts in 1958 with 'The Prisoner Song', selling 250,000 copies.
Working at the legendary Jay Miller studios in Crowley, Louisiana, Warren was also hired as the "in house" drummer, playing on numerous Blues hits for the likes of Lightning Slim, Slim Harpo, Lonesome Sundown, Lazy Lester, Carol Flan and many others.
Warren is indeed a living legend and holds places in the Louisiana Hall of Fame and Gulf Coast Hall of Fame. He sings and plays drums for Lil' Band O' Gold.
Mr. Richard Landry
Jazzman "Dickie" Landry plays his "own kind" of sax. When Dickie has to play he has to play and people such as Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Paul Simon, The Phillip Glass Ensemble, Laurie Anderson and The Talking Heads have reaped the rewards of his unique styling. He is also considered a pioneer of conceptual art and installations, having worked with Richard Serra, Gordon Matte-Clark and Rauschenberg in the early 60s.
Born in Cecelia, Louisiana, Dickie is still revered there as the man who can do it all and fix any problem. At 68 years old he is rarely seen on any given night without his sax, wandering the Lafayette streets and sitting in with everyone. He plays saxophone for Lil' Band O' Gold.
STEVE RILEY
Steve Riley grew up in the prairie town of Mamou, Louisiana, where French is spoken on the street; the national holiday is Mardi Gras and a poor family is one without a fiddler or accordion player.
By the age of 12, Steve was considered an accordion prodigy and by 13 he had been snapped up by Cajun legend Dewy Balfa for his band. In 1991, Steve started his own band, Steve Riley and The Mamou Playboys, who have recorded seven albums, won countless awards and been nominated for three Grammy Awards. Steve is widely considered one of the world's premier accordion players. He sings and plays the accordion for Lil' Band O' Gold.
CC ADCOCK
CC sings and plays Guitar for Lil' Band O' Gold and is the founding member of the band.
David Egan
David Egan is one America's premier song writers, having written songs for Percy Sledge, Joe Cocker, Etta James, Johnny Adams, Mavis Staples, Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and many others. David now writes songs, plays piano and sings with Lil' Band O' Gold.
PAT BREAUX
Pat Breaux has long been considered one of the greatest saxophonists forged from the South Louisiana Cajun honky-tonk scene. Pat has toured and performed with the likes of BeauSoleil, Red Beans & Rice and C.C. Adcock. He is the grandson of Cajun music pioneer Amade Breaux, who has been credited with writing Louisiana's unofficial state anthem "Jolie Blon". Pat plays saxophone and accordion for Lil' Band O' Gold.
TOMMY McLAIN
Born in 1940 into a family of musicians, Tommy McLain is considered the founding father of Swamp Pop music.
In 1966, with the Boogie Kings, he cut a record for Floyd Soileauis's Jin label that resulted in the multimillion-selling smash 'Sweet Dreams'. He has never stopped performing and has enjoyed much success and recognition the world over, touring with the Rolling Stones, ZZ Top and the Yardbirds. He has even found time to be ordained as a Catholic minister. He continues to spread his gospel of love and music on his weekly radio show on Radio Maria broadcast from Alexandria, Louisiana.
"LIL" BUCK SINEGAL
Lil' Buck is unquestionably one of the world's greatest living blues guitar players. Born in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1940, Buck still lives in the same house on St. Charles Street.
He has played with everyone from Percy Sledge to Alan Toussaint to Joe Tex, and most notably spent 14 years as guitar player for the undisputed "King of Zydeco", Clifton Chenier (playing on all of Clifton's Arhoolie recordings). Buck has recorded several solo Albums including the classic, 'The Buck Starts Here', helmed by Alan Toussaint. His classic cuts, 'Cat Scream', and 'Monkey in a Sack', recorded back in 1967 are considered by many to be the first funk tunes ever recorded.
RICHARD COMEAUX
Richard Comeaux is flat out the best pedal-steel player in Louisiana and is currently signed to Capital Records with his band River Road. Richard plays pedal steel for Lil' Band O' Gold. 'Comeaux's pedal-steel playing, rarely heard in Louisiana acts these days outside of country bands, straddles those melodies like a graceful tightrope walker.' --Austin American Statesman
DAVE RANSON
Dave Ranson has played bass with John Hiatt and Sonny Landreth for the last 25 years. He lives on a house boat in the swamps. Dave plays bass for Lil' Band O' Gold.
Donald "Uncle D" Sinegal Uncle D has been an MC of the highest order (standing at 6 ft 7 inches tall), for over half a century. Inventor of more than a few moves that the hip-hop generation claimed as their own, Uncle D has MC'd for many of the region's great stars.
