From St. Louis, multi-instrumentalist Tom Martin plays piano, Cajun accordion, and piano accordion. He's currently a member of the Southside Creole Playboys, a band that plays traditional Cajun and Creole music in the St. Louis area. This band performs for Cajun dances and they draw large crowds at events throughout the year. Tom was a member of Gumbohead (also based in St. Louis) for many years, and they played a big mix of Cajun, Zydeco and many New Orleans-based bands. Tom's influences include Professor Longhair, Boozoo Chavis, Steve Riley, Beau Jocque and others, and his recent interests include playing Irish tunes on accordion. For the Occasional Cajun Band gig, Tom will be performing on piano and accordions.
The Occasional Cajun Band plays a mix of traditional Cajun, Creole and Zydeco music. The band performs music found in the dancehalls (and at festivals) in southwest Louisiana including lively two-steps, soulful waltzes, and get-down Zydeco. We hope that you'll want to dance.
