"The bands sound is a great mix of Zydeco, Cajun, Funk, Soul, Reggae, and Roots Rock... upbeat and lively and a great cure for a cold winter's day!"

"The Crawdaddies should be on your Radar, Calendar and iPod.
These DC-Baltimore-based players got a WAMMIE nomination for their squeezebox-enabled music. Drawing inspiration from Zydeco but also the ska revival, “Keep Lookin' Up” bops along merrily in a people-pleasing way. This is the kind of highly professional touring band that seems just designed for festival stages and happy outdoor crowds."
