The Gumbo Gumbas are “A delicious medley of authentic New Orleans Jazz with a side of Creole". They play music that will make you happy and want to jump for joy and get their influences from the city that started it all in American music, New Orleans. The Gumbo Gumbas  blend the elements of jazz, zydeco, R&B, funk, and rock into a big old fashioned southern stew. Their mission is to spread the vibe of NOLA up to the north. There are so many people who have not visited this great music city and we want to expose as many people as we can to the magic that is New Orleans.

 The Gumbo Gumbas play original compositions and traditional music from the early 1900’s. Their influences are Louis Armstrong, Louie Prima, the great swing bands of the 30’s & 40’s. Along with playing the classic songs of that time period, they offer a history lesson to their audience by talking in-between numbers and telling stories pertaining to the music and the history of New Orleans when the songs were first composed. The music is cross generational, fun to dance to and great to listen to. Their show is great for community concerts and educational institutions as well as dances and special occasions like weddings and birthday parties.

Zydeland

This band was formed as a result of Gumbo Gumbas band leader Joe Grillo's many pilgrimages to the New Orleans for Jazzfest and French Quarter Fest. His love for the city, the people, food, music, art, and general vibe has inspired him to bring some of this culture up north. He is always amazed at how many people from the north have never 

This band was formed as a result of Gumbo Gumbas band leader Joe Grillo's many pilgrimages to the New Orleans for Jazzfest and French Quarter Fest. His love for the city, the people, food, music, art, and general vibe has inspired him to bring some of this culture up north. He is always amazed at how many people from the north have never been to New Orleans or have no idea what the experience of NOLA is like. As a kid Joe was influenced by Louis Armstrong and Louie Prima. People often associate New Orleans with the French but there was also a very strong Italian presence in the French Quarter. His vision for this band is to bring together many elements of Louisiana music: Zydeco, Dixieland, funk, blues, into one cohesive sound that he calls Zydeland. He hopes that you enjoy listening and dancing to this music as much as he has playing it.

This fun video from our yet to be released 2nd album  features the Franklin Park 5th Grade class and home movies from the Beyond Bourbon Street Krewe. Many people think the Mardi Gras is all about getting drunk and acting lewd. In fact, Mardi Gras is a great holiday for kids and families.  See why in this video!
