TODD O'NEILL BAND

Thursday, July 28

Grouse Room

Doors: 9 p.m.

Down in Louisiana, when they're cooking' up something in the kitchen, they throw a little bit of everything in the gumbo pot. Applying that same homegrown creative philosophy to his music, singer/songwriter Todd O'Neill has concocted his own recipe, blending cajun, zydeco and New Orleans R&B with the best of Nashville, for some seriously soulful, heartfelt and rockin' country music. Best served hot, Todd's sound is pure Louisiana soul.
