A unique blend of rhythm and blues, zydeco, rock n' roll, country and swamp-pop, the music of Mark Willis & Cocodrie has inspired crowds at a variety of festive and exciting occasions, whether it be at music festivals across Louisiana or at wedding parties and political affairs. Charlie Daniels, Percy Sledge, Delbert McClinton and Louisiana's LaRoux have been the headliners at some of the concerts where they have performed.
