Slippery Sneakers Zydeco Band is based in RI (Rhode Island) and plays throughout New England and more.
Slippery Sneakers is a high energy Zydeco dance band that brings together traditional and contemporary Cajun/Zydeco roots music originating from Southwest Louisiana. Their sound is a spicy mixture of up-tempo Zydeco, Blues and Soul, Cajun waltzes, Creole, and a bit of Rock’n Roll, with a heavy emphasis on “the groove” to keep crowds dancing.
Slippery Sneakers has performed at nationally known Zydeco festivals all over the country, including almost every dance festival in New England, alsway to wide acclaim. Additionally, the band has routinely broken attendance records at many of the monthly Zydeco dances held around the region of “southern” New England.

Here is the opening and closing themes, with credits, from the 1987 New Orleans film “The Big Easy” starring Dennis Quaid as Renny McSwain and Ellen Barkin as Anne Osborne. The opening theme is the fantastic Beau Soleil with their rousing rendition of “Zydeco Gris Gris”. The closing theme is provided by legendary Buckwheat Zydeco and his “Buck’s Nouvelle Jolen Blon”. I fell in love with Louisiana and the Cajun/Creole culture from seeing this movie before I ever lived there.
