Zydecrunch

What is Zydecrunch? Good question.
Brought together by long time friends Mike Lynch and Steve Olson,
Zydecrunch was formed simply as an excuse to dabble in Americana
before it was hip to do so. Taking acues from the south of New
Orleans Rhythm and Blues, Cajun and Country two steps and waltzes,
Creole struts, the Blues sound of days gone by and even a little
Rock and Roll from time to time. Zydecrunch has become and mixed up
pot of gumbo that it is today. |
