Nicole Christian/Sammy Naquin January 19, 2007

Not to be missed!! Authentic Creole sounds direct from New Orleans:

Brought up in the bayous of South Louisiana, Cajun Zydeco music was taught to Sammy Naquin by his musician father and became a way of life. He started playing professionally at the age of 13 when he put together a band with his brother and friends to play parties and fundraisers. They still get together to play functions today, 25 years later. Sammy has recorded with and toured with many bands and musicians including the world renowned Rusty Kershaw. Playing for celebrity parties and functions led to him recording soundtracks for commercials, movies and television shows. You may have heard his music on the television series, The Big Easy.

In between touring, Sammy played on Bourbon Street in New Orleans nightly for the last 22 years and was playing until the night before Hurricane Katrina hit. Although he has relocated to the Finger Lakes region of central New York, Sammy continues to wow the crowds with his Cajun Zydeco sounds of Louisiana.
