Gumbo Ya Ya

Expect a high-energy Gulf Coast and New Orleans R&B and Soul band. We honor the music of many New Orleans artists In our repertoire such as The Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Professor Longhair and the Meters, to name a few. We also spice things up with a bit of Zydeco music.

Most people hire Gumbo Ya Ya for Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) celebrations, Crawfish boils, themed events and festivals but this music is good for any event looking for a happy, grooving time with a Gulf Coast flair!

Our busiest time is between late January through April. We are generally more available between May and December, but any time of the year is a good time for Gulf Coast R&B and Soul music! See our calendar or contact us for availability.

Gumbo Ya Ya is made up of professional musicians who have been around the block. Our goal is to help make your event a success with minimal time required by you. We have a PA that will support up to 300 people and can add lights and/or a larger PA for an additional cost, depending on the event size and your requirements.

Feel free to contact us for more details or if you have any questions. We do our best to accommodate!

Gumbo Ya Ya played their debut gig on Fat Tuesday, 2015 and we've been groovin' Central Texas ever since.

Gumbo Ya Ya has been honing its sound to expand on the different Gulf Coast styles while offering the kind of music Central Texans can appreciate.
