Steve Bing & The Bayou HotShots are a band that plays a high-energy mixture of Louisiana music that will have you tappin' a foot. Our huge eclectic repertoire includes the danceable rhythms of Cajun and Creole. In addition, we can add a little Swamp Pop depending on our audiences and the venues. Our Cajun and Creole music is from the bayous and prairies of south Louisiana. Good harmony vocals are a big thing with us too, and we all sing.
Steve Bing plays fiddle, Cajun accordion, and is the lead singer. His musical influences are drawn from playing with many of the great Cajun and Creole musicians including Dewey Balfa, Luderin Darbone, Merlin Fontenot, Goldman Thibodeaux, Ed and Danny Poullard, Boi Sec Ardoin, Canray Fontenot, Eddie LeJeune and others. Steve is a full-time musician and teaches Cajun accordion, fiddle, and guitar. Donna Bing provides the solid rhythm guitar in the band and loves to dance as much as playing music, often at the same time. Her musical influences are many including having sung with the Houston Symphony Chorus. Jesse Deroche has been playing accordion since an early age and by age 10 was performing at restaurants and festivals across Louisiana. He learned how to play and build accordions from his great-Uncle Andrew Jagneaux of Church Point, LA. Cliston Guillot is the bass player and has played with many Cajun and Swamp Pop bands in Louisiana including Mitch Landry. Cliston has played in just about every venue there is in south Louisiana. Christine (Guidry) Law is the percussionist playing triangle and rubboard as well as provides vocals on several numbers. Originally from Church Point, LA, her great grandfather was Iry LeJeune's Uncle. Both Cliston and Christine grew up speaking Cajun French and continue that tradition today which is so important in keeping the Cajun culture alive. Albert Moyer, Jr. is the drummer with a wide variety of musical genre experience. He can be seen behind the band swaying to a waltz, twirling his sticks, or during the breaks eating crawfish. Albert studied with Houston drummers Mike Lefarve and Craig LeMay early on and later studied master classes with many great professional drummers including Ed Shaughnessy( Johnny Carson Show), Bobby Rock (Rare Earth, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, Nelson), Matt Sorum(Guns N Roses), Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth), Anton Fig(David Letterman Show), Dave Weckl(Chick Corea), and countless others.
