"Fitzgeralds"

"playing a place that dancers were nearly falling on the band while going crazy on the dance floor. The place was FitzGerald’s sidebar, the small room across the parking lot from the main room. Boukou Groove from New Orleans began the evening opening for Mr. Blotto in the main room, then moved next door for a wild late night set joined by Curt Morrison of Tributosaurus. That was a lot of groove alright.

Bio


Boukou Groove 

With the lively international release of their debut LP “A lil’ Boukou in Your Cup” and the 2015 sophomore release of "Let The Groove Ride", Boukou Groove provides audiences with a genre-bending collective, touching on elements of New Orleans style Funk, R&B, Soul and Blues. 

Founded on the stage at Tipitinas in NOLA in 2010, Boukou Groove is the creation of singer/producer Donnie Sundal and New Orleans guitar luminary Derwin “Big D” Perkins.  

Donnie Sundal, infuses an infectious blend of energy and enthusiasm as he showcases his multi-octave ranging vocals while sustaining his brand of lavish Moog bass lines. New Orleans guitarist, 

Derwin " Big D" Perkins (Bonnie Raitt and Dr.John), provides his smooth and funky guitar licks largely based on improvisation and feel alone.  

Together, no matter what the venue, the band provides their distinguishing style and creates a kinetic environment that’s easily spread throughout the audience.
