“Simply Elton” was a notion that grew over time in the mind of Brian Harris. As a classically trained pianist/keyboardist and jazz veteran (yet with the heart of a rock & roller!), he has performed in countless musical situations over the years. After backing up literally hundreds of tribute artists over the years, it was finally time to stand up and be counted. And performing an act in tribute to Sir Elton John…  that was a no-brainer for Brian. It is music that has the perfect blend of energy, great vocals, and pianistic fireworks for Brian to REALLY dig into!

Hurricane Gumbo is an eight-piece, Chicago-based band that combines zydeco, rhythm & blues, jazz and funk to produce a sound that can only be called one thing – Louisiana party music. With Hurricane Gumbo, the party never stops. That is why, one reviewer calls it “without a doubt, one of the best and liveliest party-bands anywhere”… because with Hurricane Gumbo, it’s All Mardi Gras, All of the time. Leave your underwear at home.

“Hurricane” Bill, an energetic “Mexi-Cajun” born in the steamy swamps of Louisiana’s Bayou country, leads the band with his fiery vocals and rockin’ accordion. Hurricane Gumbo’s smokin’ rhythm section consists of “Sleepin’ Jesus” on bass, the “Lunchbox” on drums, “Kenny-E” on guitar, and “Zydeco” Joe on rubboard, conga drums and percussion. Finally, the Hurricane Horns – a.k.a. “Wif” on alto sax, “Brez” on tenor sax and “Dr. Maybe” on trumpet. Tight riffs and tasty harmonies thrown in the pot and Hurricane Gumbo becomes one of the tastiest Louisiana-style bands north of the Crescent City.
