SAMMY NAQUIN & THE ZYDECO WHIPS
Sammy Naquin lives to play music that makes people feel good, have fun and want to dance.
When you catch Sammy Naquin onstage he’ll cook up a Louisiana musical gumbo, with a strong traditional zydeco / cajun / creole roux, with some zydeco blues (a la the great Clifton Chenier, one of Sammy’s early mentors), spiced with New Orleans jazz and R&B, maybe a dash of country and just about anything else he’s heard in his travels. He will mix it up till it becomes one and serves it up smokin’ hot.
“I like music from all over the world” says Sammy. “I’ll take anything and throw it into the pot.” But he never strays too far from his authentic Louisiana roots. Besides Clifton Chenier, the “King of Zydeco,” another of Sammy’s inspirations was Rockin’ Dopsie Sr. He continues to pay homage to the pioneers of zydeco like Boozoo Chavis, Nathan Williams (and the Zydeco Cha-Chas) and his friend Zachary Richard.
