Mark St. Mary's Louisiana Blues & Zydeco Band is a 5-member band that plays traditional Louisiana blues and zydeco music. Dubbed the "Delta King" and awarded the "Best Zydeco Band" in 2007 by Bay Area Blues Society, Mark has been playing his traditional style of zydeco music since the age of 13. His music is best described as infectious - once the band starts playing, the crowd doesn't want him to stop, yelling "Play One More" over and over!
Mark sings in both English & Creole French. The band prides themselves in being able to give the crowd a variety, zydeco, blues, R&B and even a lil' country. Followers of this music loves the excitement it brings and the joy they get from dancing to it, be it a waltz, two-step, line dance or a down-home flat-foot zydeco! With Mark's gift of gab, he comes prepared to really put on a show, making you not wanna sit down. We guarantee to keep you entertained, keeping the skirt-tails floppin' and the cowboy boots stompin'.
