Tom Rigney & Flambeau specialize in fiery Cajun and zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes. Most of the repertoire is composed by Rigney, but they also mix in a few classics from the Cajun/zydeco/New Orleans songbook. TOM RIGNEY, the fiery, electrifying violinist/composer, joined forces with some of the finest musicians on the San Francisco roots music scene to form Tom Rigney & Flambeau, a band that will tear the roof off of any place that has one and raise the spirits of everyone around. Rigney, after fifteen years at the helm of The Sundogs, has stepped out into the spotlight with a vengeance. Flambeau showcases his passionate, virtuoso fiddling, his commanding stage presence, his range, depth, and originality as a composer, and of course, those notorious red boots.
