Lil' Buck Sinegal is a noted blues guitarist with roots in southern Louisiana- as such he has played and recorded with many of the finest zydeco musicians, most notably as a sideman to zydeco legend Clifton Chenier for more than 10 years. Lil' Buck also has numerous recordings with his own blues band and in 1999 was inducted into the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame.
The Ponderosa Stomp is an annual music festival held in New Orleans since 2002 that celebrates the uncelebrated names in American musical history. The festival spotlights musicians who have contributed to the American roots musical canon in various genres, from rockabilly to soul to rock and roll to jazz to experimental. For two nights of the year these mostly forgotten names perform to an audience of aficionados whose memory has not faded and turn back the clock with blistering performances of the hits that did or (in the case of the regional musicians that plugged away unknown to the world at large, as well as those whose songs were recorded to acclaim by other musicians) did not make them famous.
In addition to the two nights of performances the Ponderosa Stomp Foundation (the non-profit founded by the eccentric Dr. Ira Padnos and his coterie of like minded music fanatics the Mystic Knights of the Mau Mau) also produces two days of the Music History Conference, where many of the performers, as well as other music industry names, share stories of their lives in the business. The Conferences take place in the Louisiana State Museum at the Cabildo in Jackson Square.
