Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on March 19, 2012From Duarte, CA

Bennie and his Swamp Gators surpassed my wildest dreams for a fun band that would entertain my guest. His son, the drummer, came out with his girlfriend and taught Zydeco dancing which thrilled me and my guest. His daughter, on the washboard, came onto the dance floor and shared the washboard with all our guest. My emails are flooded with my guest telling me they were the most fun and exciting band they have ever heard. I recommend them VERY HIGHLY. I am a Louisiana Woman living in California who wanted to celebrate my 60th birthday Southern Style. Bennie and the SwampGators gave me an evening I will never forget. They were AWESOME in every way.

They were fantastic; very flexible given a difficult situation where they were asked to play. Great dance band with a unique sound.
