This group draws a diverse audience because of their ageless music.  Kermit, the band's leader, really knows how to get the crowd involved in the music.  College kids are drawn to this group and are a large part of the attending audience.  Each band member has his opportunity to be in the spot light during the shows.   If you want to dance to the sound of an outstanding trumpet player then you will love Kermit Ruffins and the Barbeque Swingers.  This band has a positive attitude that is felt and heard in their music.  They love New Orleans and are actively participating in rebuilding the city.  This band has a link on the www.basinstreetrecords.com website.
