Sutherland Acoustic (formerly Sutherland Folk Club) is delighted to present:
Squeezebox Boogaloo are back after a 3 year absence to pump out some more of their upbeat French Creole party music, with it's infectious and fun Zydecho rhythms. They have a new CD "Map to the Heart" which will be available to purchase. The 4- piece band started in 1991 after accordion player Jeff Toefler returned from Louisiana where he was captivated by the unique Zydecho sound and was determined to start something similar here and he has been very successful developing the Squeezebox into one of the best in this genre in Australia. Put on your dancing shoes it will be a unique experience that will just want to make you dance!
