Creole Stomp

Creole Stomp celebrate the Mardi Gras season with a rollicking mix of contemporary blues, swamp pop, and traditional Cajun and zydeco music at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre March 24, 2018.

Creole Stomp has captured the ears and the feet of Louisiana music fans across North America. A recognized African Creole and French Creole Fiddle master, bandleader Dennis Stroughmatt has journeyed to three corners of North America in his quest to learn about the music traditions and French culture. Creole Stomp keeps listeners enthralled and dancers in motion with a rollicking mix of contemporary blues, swamp pop, and traditional Cajun and zydeco music. Dennis’s deep knowledge of the music comes from mentors that include Morris Ardoin and Canray Fontenot, Faren Serrette and the late Hadley Castille. Creole Stomp shows have become legendary for the heart and passion conveyed from the stage, music with emotion and energy that literally jumps from the band.

Creole Stomp will be at Metropolis on Saturday, March 24, 2018 at 7:30 P.M. Tickets are $30, and include a favor. All tickets can be purchased at MetropolisArts.com or by calling the Metropolis Box Office at 847.577.2121.
