Swamp Pop is a mix of Louisiana Cajun, Zydeco, blues, rock, country; the influences over the years are many and the mix gives you a rockin’ good time.
It’s hard to say who has the most talent, who has played with the most bands or the most instruments. This is a dynamite group featuring Jan Stroup, guitarist & vocalist with 50 yrs on his music belt, Andy Vaaler on piano, organ, accordion, and vocals, Max Ray on sax & vocals, Joe Luoma on percussion, sound effects & vocals, Tedd Halvorsona on guitar & vocals, Karl Smelker founder of Swamp Poppas on bass guitar & finally , our own Winona native, Lucinda Plaisance on vocals
The concert is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
