River City Slim & The Zydeco Hogs serve up a hefty slab of greasy Zydeco, cooking up a spicy musical gumbo that combines the traditional sounds of the button accordion and washboard with a driving, pulsating, syncopated beat.

Popular roots music DJ and drummer River City Slim, the host of The Pine Grove Blues on WWUH, provides the beat. He has played drums behind Louisiana legends Willis Prudhomme, Jeffery Broussard, Corey Ledet, Sheryl Cormier, D.L. Menard, Dexter Ardoin and Jesse Lege. He has played with several Northeast Cajun and Zydeco bands -- Backroad Zydeco, Bayou Brethren, Dirty Rice, Krewe de Roux and has also performed on rubboard and harmonica with Slippery Sneakers, The Zydeco Zombies and The Zydecats.

Blind Mark Thompson, noted traditional accordion player, handles the squeeze box chores. He has jammed with the best at folk and roots music festivals throughout New England, being spotted onstage with such Louisiana luminaries as the Basin Brothers and D.L. Menard.

Guitar duties are split between two of CT's best. Toad Eckert, our long-time brother of the road, has gone into semi-retirement. When Toad isn't jacking the energy level up a notch or two with his churning rhythms and soaring leads, we feature the newest Hog, Chris "Otis" Cross. Chris has led his own award-winning band, Otis & The Hurricanes, in the Fairfield county area for several years. He has also played in the NY-based outfit Zydegroove.

The newest Hog, bassist and vocalist Andy Karlok has held down the bottom for some of the best Blues and R&B bands in the Northeast, including a two-year stint with Blues legend Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson. During this time, Andy appeared on Luther's M.C. Records release "Live At The Rynborn". His most recent gig before joining The Hogs was an extended run with Dr. Ya Ya's Gumbo Party, a New England band that specializes in New Orleans-style R&B and funk.

Rockin' Robin Bean's rubboard syncopations and occasional flights of furious fiddling rounds out the rhythm section. Robin's let-the-good-times-roll stage presence brings things to another level, and he adds great harmony vocals to many tunes.
