Rougarou Rounders

Boise, ID

Rougarou Rounders is a roots-driven power trio with a groove that holds you hostage. Drawing on decades of collaboration, guitarist and songwriter Larry Kiser, drummer Rick Shodeen, and bassist Dillon Wardwell bring tight rhythms, rich musicality, and infectious energy to every stage. Named after the mythical bayou shapeshifter, Rougarou Rounders blends traditional blues and rock with island and Creole influences, fusing reggae, Americana, and West African rhythms into a sound that’s both familiar and refreshingly original.

Their music is a journey across the American South and into the Caribbean, weaving danceable grooves with swampy soul, mountain grit, and sun-soaked melody. Rooted, rhythmic, and raw - Rougarou Rounders delivers a show that moves your feet and feeds your soul.

Swampy blues. Island grooves. Dancin’ shoes. That’s Rougarou.
