Big Lou's musical career started out in the honky-tonks of Texas, playing traditional
C&W in numerous dance bands. She moved on to the San Francisco Bay Area where
she has played C&W, blues, French standards, and several styles of rock. She
played with Polkacide for several years, and founded Those Darn Accordions. She
toured the USA and parts of Europe with TDA. The other band members bring jazz,
tango, blues, rock, folk, country and art-rock to the musical stew. The band's
influences are eclectic and (we like to think) make for an interesting combination
of styles.
