Robert Graves Leonard (Zydeco Bob)
and his Slippery Sneakers Band
Slippery Sneakers Zydeco Band is based
in RI (Rhode Island) and plays throughout New England
and more.
Slippery Sneakers is a high-energy Zydeco dance band
that brings together traditional and contemporary Cajun/Zydeco
roots music originating from Southwest Louisiana. Their
sound is a spicy mixture of up-tempo Zydeco, Blues and
Soul, Cajun waltzes, Creole, and a bit of Rock'n'Roll,
with a heavy emphasis on "the groove" to keep crowds
dancing.
Slippery Sneakers has performed at nationally known
Zydeco festivals all over the country, including almost
every dance festival in New England, always to wide
acclaim. Additionally, the band has routinely broken
attendance records at many of the monthly Zydeco dances
held around the region of "southern" New England.
