The Jumbo Shrimp Band

---

The Jumbo Shrimp Band has been bringing our beach party vibe to public and private events since 2012. Based in St. Louis, MO, our shrimp band performs at venues from 50 to 5,000 throughout the USA. Our impressive resume includes Theme Parks, Corporate Events, Minor League Baseball Parks, Margaritaville Resorts, and Trop-Rock Music Festivals.

We call our music "Gumbo Rock and Caribbean Soul," which features our original tunes, plenty of Jimmy Buffett, and a fantastic mix of Americana/Folk, Classic Rock, Country, Blues, Tex-Mex, and Zydeco—all with a Jumbo Shrimp twist and a huge dose of fun!

The Jumbo Shrimp Band is like a Mardi Gras party in Margaritaville! We can tailor our shows as a "Mardi Gras in Margaritaville" themed event or as a concert featuring our original music alongside Americana, Trop Rock, Country, and Blues classics, all infused with a unique Jumbo Shrimp flavor.

Our musical gumbo includes plenty of our original songs, plus Blues (Taj Mahal, Willie Dixon, B.B. King); Contemporary Americana (Bob Dylan, The Band, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Tom Petty, Arlo Guthrie, Van Morrison); Beach (Harry Belafonte, Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney); Country (Alan Jackson, Hank Williams, Eric Church, Toby Keith); Jam Band (Little Feat, Grateful Dead); and Louisiana R&B (Neville Brothers, Buckwheat Zydeco). Join us for an unforgettable experience with the Jumbo Shrimp jazz band, where every performance feels like a celebration on a shrimp boat!

The Jumbo Shrimp Band, known for their vibrant performances as a shrimp band, features an impressive lineup (L to R): Rory Finn on keyboards and accordion, Tom Tierney on electric guitar, Mike McEnery on acoustic guitar, Lance 'Flipper' Steen on drums, Steve Kolodziej on bass, and Mark 'Catfish' Vesser playing harmonica, percussion, and acoustic guitar. This talented group is also recognized as the Jumbo Shrimp Jazz Band, bringing a unique sound to their audience, much like a lively shrimp boat band.

With five lead vocalists and rich vocal harmonies, the jumbo band brings unique instrumentation including accordion and harmonica to life. Our performances, influenced by a wide variety of genres, keep the excitement alive as we showcase the talents of our shrimp band and the vibrant sounds of the jumbo shrimp jazz band, making each show a fresh experience reminiscent of a lively shrimp boat band.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!

For over 10 years, The Jumbo Shrimp Jazz Band has been performing their unique style of Jimmy Buffett tribute for Parrot Head Clubs, Minor League Baseball Stadiums, Theme Parks, Music Festivals, and Non-Profit Fundraisers throughout the Midwest.
