| Rigney, after fifteen years at the helm of The Sundogs, has stepped out into the spotlight with a vengeance. Flambeau showcases his passionate, virtuoso fiddling, his commanding stage presence, his range, depth, and originality as a composer, and of course, those notorious red boots. His
band mates are veterans of the great bands of Charles Brown, Queen Ida, Roy Rogers, Clifton
Chenier, and others, and together they generate enough heat and energy to ignite a dance floor or lift an audience to its feet. |

Flambeau specializes in fiery Cajun and Zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes. Most of the repertoire is composed by Rigney, but they also mix in a few classics from the
Cajun/Zydeco/New Orleans songbook. And if, along the way, you pick up a trace of Rigney’s Irish roots or a little Swing and roots Rock and Roll, it just makes the musical gumbo that much tastier. In the past few year’s Rigney’s skills as a composer have broadened and deepened, and he is today writing some of the most evocative and uplifting music you will hear anywhere. And Rigney’s charismatic stage presence and high-energy delivery draw the audience into his performances and make them feel that they are an integral part of the music and the show.
Tom Rigney & Flambeau perform at 2 pm on Sunday, May
17, 2009
at the Don Whitney Auditorium on the Tillamook High School Campus in
Tillamook.
