“Hey Roddie, I saw ya’ll play at the New Orleans Jazz Fest yesterday. I have been going to the fest since 1976 and your performance is in my top 5! Ya’ll were so tight and the music was so ****ing good, I thought about it all day today! I didn’t drink a drop so it ain’t the booze!”
– a fan with taste!

"Hub City All-Stars is exactly what this band is...unmatched in talent and originality. They live to play that next note, get the crowd going, hurl traditional zydeco into the future and to have fun doing it! This team has star power that will endure forever."
- The Times

“Lafayette, La.'s Roddie Romero & The Hub City All-stars recreate the easy-rocking, good-timing, highly danceable mix of Cajun, swamp pop and '50s rock that has fueled Cajun country bars and dancehalls for decades. The Grammy nominees (for 2008's The La Louisianne Sessions) are led by accordionist/guitarist/vocalist Romero and pianist Eric Adcock, and they had the Fais Do Do stage crowd swaying, waltzing and two-stepping in the dust under the relentless mid-afternoon sun to classics like Hey Bob-A-Ree-Bop and Walkin' To New Orleans and originals like It Ain't Easy.”

“…One of the delights was discovering acts such as Roddie Romero and the Hub City All-Stars!”
- ABC NEWS
—————————————————————————————————————
“But what separates this from being just another solid album of familiar South Louisiana fare are the tasteful originals enveloped in sophisticated, relatively indigenous arrangements. Topics of various life issues are pitted against diverse backdrops of contemporary Acadiana, New Orleans junker piano, gospel-tinged R&B and even western swing. As talented as Romero is as a multi-instrumentalist, he’s equally amazing as a brown-eyed soul-drenched crooner, which gives these songs their final oomph. With such gems as “I’ll Be Sanctified,” “Love is Eternity” and “Lazy Lawyer,” Romero and Adcock can be taken more seriously as American writers who just happen to play kick butt Cajun and zydeco music.”
