As the new partners began playing shows in their Hill
Country community, they met other area musicians and
incorporated them into the band. First, a rhythm
section was added to the band, consisting of Steve
Lamphier on bass and Brandon Aly (of the New
Bohemians) on drums. Both Steve and Brandon had
been playing together in another local band Jamadillo.
They suggested their fellow Jamadillo band mate, Larry
Woods, be added on guitar. The addition of
Saxophone player, Brad Houser, also of the New
Bohemians and Critters Buggin, completed the lineup.
In 2010, Dave Bailey took over the guitar work for the
band.

Zydeco Blanco's song list consists of original
songs such as "Even Cowboys Like Zydeco" and
"Emu Escape," that blend the influences of
Louisiana music with the feel of life in the Texas
Hill Country, as well as a strong mix of covers
from favorite zydeco artists such as Bois Sec
Ardoin, Boozoo Chavis, John Delafose, Geno
Delafose, Keith Frank, Beau Jocque, and Willis
Prudhomme.
The band's first full-length CD "Zydeco Blanco"
was released in 2004. Their latest recording,
"Texas Ag Report", was released in 2010.

Zydeco Blanco was originally a duo formed in 1997 when
accordion player Leif Oines met rubboard player Harvey
Trahan. Both musicians were newly relocated to the
Blanco river Valley near Blanco, Texas. Mr. Oines had
moved from the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex, where he had
successfully headed up the energetic band Zydeco Faux
Pas. Harvey Trahan, a French Cajun originally from
Lafayette, Louisiana, came to the valley via Houston,
Texas, where he played harmonica in several blues bands.
