One word to describe the swampdelic sounds of Chubby Carrier and Bayou Swamp Band? Fun. Pure Louisiana zydeco fun with a hot sauce chaser. Anybody who has doubts about the accordion as an instrument will be swayed the right way with Carrier's passion and fire on the instrument.
Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band have recorded ten CDs over the past 22 years of Chubby's professional career. His band has traveled all over the world, performing to audiences in all parts of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, Canada. North Africa and Europe. Chubby and the band travel 150-175 days a year, taking his act to big festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz Fest, the Chicago Blues Fest. Summerfest (Milwaukee), Memphis in May, and several festivals in Europe. Chubby has also done guest appearances on recordings for Tab Benoit, 6Was9, and Jimmy Thackery. Ann Wilson of the group Heart encourages Chubby to "continue the great sound that you have. This sound will take you places."

For those who want a fast-paced, head-bobbing jam session, The Surge delivers. Big on energy and crowd interaction, the band can be seen at popular Lake area events such as The Lake of the Ozarks Pub Crawl and St. Patrick's Day. Members are from the Lake and Jefferson City areas. “We are a very upbeat band with danceable music and sing-a-long anthem rock,†says member Shawn Crowe.
The Surge started as four guys jamming together in Doug's basement. They didn’t plan on playing “officiallyâ€, but changed their minds when they received a call from Backwater Jack's to fill in for a band that canceled.
