However\, it was not until the beginning of the pandemic during the periods of self-isolation in their home that they began to write songs together for the first time.\n\nThe following two-year period was very productive in this regard\, as they continued to write and develop some 18+ songs that expressed a myriad of feelings they both felt about current events and the people and things they cared about.\n\nTheir songs are influenced by a broad range of influences: Classic Roots Rock\, Country-folk\, R&B\, Reggae and Soul.\n\n=====================================\n\nTom Rigney is one of the premier American Roots Music fiddle players on the planet. His band specializes in blazing Cajun and Zydeco two-steps\, low-down Blues\, funky New Orleans grooves\, Boogie Woogie piano\, and Roots Rock and Roll.  Much of the repertoire is original music written by Rigney\, but they mix in some classics from the Cajun/New Orleans songbook.\nFlambeau showcases Rigney’s fiery\, virtuoso fiddling\, his charismatic stage presence\, and his range and originality as a composer. He and Flambeau have forged a unique sound that blends American Roots styles into something original and HOT–mixing irresistible grooves with deep musicality and spectacular soloing. Rigney’s high-energy showmanship pulls the audience into his performances and makes them feel they are a part of the music and the show.
