The Gumbo Brothers have firmly rooted themselves in the eclectic artistic tradition of Venice Beach, California with weekly residencies at the Venice Bistro, Rae's Lounge and now Fridays at The Santa Monica Bar & Grille.
Since 2003, they have been entertaining the Venice community with an annual Mardi Gras parade on the boardwalk including a traditional brass band, funky drum corps, stilt walkers, dancers and costumed bead-throwing revelers.
In December 2005, they organized and hosted a benefit for the New Orleans Musician's Hurricane Relief Fund, "New Orleans Rising" at The Temple Bar in Santa Monica with special guest, saxophone legend Plas Johnson who joined them for the second set.
With over 75 shows in Los Angeles in 2007 and other notable appearances at the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco, and venues up and down the west coast, this Venice-based quartet is bringing their infectious, booty movin' bayou grooves to swamp-funk fans throughout the southland and beyond.

Dedicated to musicianship and exploring the traditions of jazz, funk, soul and reggae, The Gumbo Brothers have a wide appeal and an electrifying live show.
