Any recommendations for a fairly small band? Due to space limitations we are looking for a 3-5 piece band with big sound! The reception is in New Orleans, and we want the band to play a variety of music (country, oldies, rock, pop) including a little zydeco or Cajun preferred. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I would say you need to look for zydeco/Cajun bands, and then see which of those can play some other things...b/c it's such a specific genre of music that I don't think you'll find a lot of cover bands/variety bands that also just 'happen' to be able to play zydeco.  For cajun/zydeco, you'd usually have the accordion and/or washboard and such...so that wouldn't be something that your typical 'wedding band' would necessarily do.

    You could try cajunzydeco.net for a list of tons of bands...I have no idea how many pieces most of them are, but it might give you a starting point?
