Here's a description of the band (provided by the Somerset County Parks Commission):

Lil’ Malcolm & The House Rockers is a five-man band centering on guitarist Percy Walker and his two sons, drummer Percy Walker, Jr. and accordionist Lil’ Malcolm Walker. Inspired by Zydeco legends such as Buckwheat Zydeco and Rockin’ Dopsie, the band creates shows that are exciting and fun.

Note: I missed the first 2 songs of Lil Malcolm's set (which started earlier than the announced expected start time of 7:30pm...the bands went on 30 minutes later than advertised due to afternoon thunderstorms that had passed through); thus, the third song is joined in progress, but with very little missing.

I would really appreciate it if someone can identify the song titles for track 02, 07 and 15. If you know any of these songs, please post a comment on the board or send me a PM. Enjoy!

If you like the show, please post a comment on the show's board. It takes a lot longer to record and share a show than it does to download one.
