Known before Hurricane Katrina as 415, this collaboration of energetic and talented musicians from around the New Orleans area has yielded a mix of quality professional music ranging from the 1960's Motown to current hits. The name was changed after Katrina to reflect how every August we have to “rush outta here!” Whether your taste is Dance, Pop, Rock, Funk, R & B, Classic Rock, or that ever popular 80's groove, August Rush will deliver. The six members of August Rush have a combined total of 120+ years of music experience in all genres.
Over the past 10 years this multi-flavored group has thrilled audiences of all sizes, from parties, local clubs and weddings to high-end casinos and large festival crowds; including a four year period of entertaining tourists from around the globe on world-famous Bourbon St. in the French Quarter.
August Rush is the 2012 Winner of the Boomtown Casino "Battle of the Bands"!
The most explosive show on the planet, be prepared to party 'til you can't party no more.
WARNING!!!!!! AUGUST RUSH assumes no liabilities from injuries suffered from excessive hip swinging and booty shaking!
It's hard to explain the joy and excitement this band brings to the fans
The music is hard to just listen to, It makes you want to get up off your seat and on the dance floor.
The band is from the Westbank of New Orleans, La. and the music is Swamp Pop. Finest sound around for dancing. Old and young enjoy the sounds of Aaron Foret and the Swamp Pop Band.
Aaron has been around for a number of years now and is still the number 1 band in the local area. Aaron and the band have played in several clubs, casinos and Festivals. And, for private partys, "there is none better".
So come out and join us at the next venue in your area, or just plan a trip. Trust me, It's worth it.
