Description
The Zydeco Stingrays -- What would you expect to hear by pairing two unrelated words together -- One describing Creole R&B accordion grooves, and the other a venomous sea creature with a whiplike tail? The answer lies where sound and culture overlap, blending into a fusion of zydeco, rock, and blues. Add to that interpretation, south Louisiana music spawned in north central Texas, and this uncommon product defies clear description. Perhaps if the Zydeco Stingrays hailed from New Orleans, Lafayette, or Houston, they might be easier to define.
To further underscore the rarity of such a band existing in the DFW Metroplex, the vast differences in each band member's musical background enables the Zydeco Stingrays to cultivate a sound that combines genres with style and precision. The result is a room full of groove that winds its way through swampland canals and freeway interchanges alike.
Debuting in 2006, The Zydeco Stingrays regularly deliver their high-energy live show to unique venues and audiences -- who are the driving force of the 'Stingray experience'. With two full-length original recordings chronicling their inspiring journey, the Zydeco Stingrays enjoy the scarce status of the Dallas' zydeco label. However you define them, it's a party!

Feedback
- The Zydeco Stingrays were fantastic. Everyone at the event enjoyed their music and wanted to purchase their CDs. We would definitely have them back. We recommend them highly. They are a great group of guys. -- Ann O, Wilburton, OK, 4/2/2011
