Description
Mark St. Mary's Delta Blues & Zydeco 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's 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. We pride ourselves 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!
We play festivals, Mardi Gras, weddings, anniversaries, private parties, corporate events, New Years and/or whatever you like. We will perform to whatever the theme is.
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'.
LET'S HAVE A PARTY YA'LL!!! ET TOI!! ET TOI!!

Feedback
- I could not have chosen a better band for my wedding! I got compliment after compliment on the music and they totally kept the party going. I can't say enough good things about them! Everyone from 4 to 84 enjoyed the music and people never left the dance floor. They should be number 1 on your list when hiring a band for your party. -- Anne J, Sonoma, CA, 4/17/2010
- Mark and his band were awesome! Our club members said they thought it was the best party we have had in years and most all of the compliments involved the music. I'm hoping to have another opportunity to work with Mark and his band members again in the future . . . they rock! -- Noelle K, Belvedere, CA, 2/27/2010
- Mark St. Mary and his band are the real deal - authentic Zydeco/blues music that gets under your skin and makes everybody smile, tap their foot to the beat, and want to get up and dance! Mark and his band played for my 50th birthday party and they were very professional, very entertaining and all of the guests (over 100 people) had a great time either dancing to the upbeat music or just enjoying watching the band perform. Everybody has asked if I'm going to make the birthday party an annual event so we can have the band back for another round of great music and dancing!
Mark knows what it means to - "Laissez les bon temps rouler"!
