Along with his crack French Rockin' Boogie ensemble - Geno takes his unique blend of Cajun, Zydeco, Blues, Rock, R&B and Country to over 150 concerts, University performing art centers, international jazz festivals and rural country dance halls each year. His new cd "Le Cowboy Creole" has just been released by Times Square Records. "The young hope of traditional zydeco" - CBS Sunday Morning
