Running on Blues Power
Across Florida and the Nation!
Big Al & the Heavyweights who hail from South Louisiana are touring in 2025 in support of their latest Vizztone Label Group album,
Blues Power. From greasy funk to grinding blues sprinkled with some bayou soul and infectious zydeco, this album is truly a fine representation of American Roots Music.
The album is getting rave reviews internationally and was #6 on BB King's Sirius XM's Bluesville Rack of Blues as one of the top new songs, and was #8 on The North American College Radio Charts. Big Freight Train, another song from the new album has just been added to XM's Outlaw Country.
Big Al and the
Heavyweights originally formed in 1996 as the Unknown Blues Band with
founding members Al Lauro, Warren Haynes and Rick Gergen (Sweethearts
of the Rodeo). Of course, Warren is no longer in the band, but Big Al has
formed a solid array of musicians including critically acclaimed guitarist
vocalist, Marcel Anton, on bass guitar and vocals Dennis
“The Menace” Cedeno from Brooklyn, NY and on harmonica and vocals,
Motor City’s most Dangerous, Dale Robertson. With 8 recordings of
original roots music, the band continues to tour extensively playing venues and
festivals throughout the US.
On
April 30,2023 the band was inducted into The Alabama Blues Music Hall of Fame!
It’s a fun energetic
show which features everything from Blues to Zydeco to Nola Funk plus originals
from the band's seven albums and select covers from legendary artists like
Johnny Winter, The Allman Brothers and The Funky Meters.
