Marty Christian, Andy Cornett and Frank Kincel started this band (inspired by the Lafayette street signs in French, this translates to Boogaloo Street) in 2009. Based in Lafayette,LA,the trio performs Blues and Boogies with an old-school South Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Chicago feel - while inflecting it with their own brand of songwriting. Sometimes acoustic, and sometimes electric, the sounds of the Blues are always served up in style here. You can sometimes find Rue Boo backing up the legendary Carol Fran as well for "un peu de lagniappe" or a double funky good time!
