* Dennis and the band *
Every now and again a band comes
along that redefines a genre of music
and carries it even further...that group
is Dennis Stroughmatt and Creole
Stomp. Always leaving audiences
wondering "who are they?," and
"where do they come from?," Dennis
and CS are based in southern Illinois
and happily tell audiences "we are from
upper Louisiana." While this may bring
chuckles from many and nodding
heads from others "in the know," this
is the group that does represent "old
upper Louisiana." Dennis learned to
speak French and play French Creole
music in a southeast Missouri French
Creole community before moving to the
state of Louisiana. You can read about
his story here:

Dennis Stroughmatt Biography
After returning to Illinois from
Louisiana, Dennis began a long
odyssey that eventually culminated in
the forming of Creole Stomp in 2002.
And since that time he and his band
have carried the torch of French
Creole music and culture across
North America performing a blend of
music from the state of Louisiana and
old upper Louisiana. Their unique
sound and mix of ancient and modern
Mississippi River valley musical
tradition positions them as the only
band to encompass French Creole and
Folk Music from the entirety of the old
Louisiana Territory. And although
Dennis continues to play with many of
his Louisiana based friends on
occasion, you can always find him at
the helm of Creole Stomp playing
somewhere from San Diego to Boston.
