We're also happy to add Bay St. Louis, Mississippi to our list of performance areas. We had a blast playing at "Buoy's Bar" for the BSL Witches Walk and have been honored to be a part of the live music resurgence at the "Silver Slipper Casino - Stage Bar." Our popularity took off like a rocket and our following increased exponentially in 2024! We are thankful to all of the Bayou Stampede Fan-Fam and venues for continuing to support local live music and inviting us back!

Joe "Hot Rod' Lincoln
Bass Guitar




Joe "Hot Rod" Lincoln is one of the founding members of "Bayou Stampede."
Joe is our cool bass player and is the "foundation" of the sound, providing the low-end rhythm and harmonic backbone by creating the "groove" for every song. Joe provides a steady, driving bass line that connects the melody to the rhythm, essentially creating the groove and feel of the music.
Joe has been playing bass for 20+ years and has an impressive resume'. Joe previously performed at Jazz Fest New Orleans as the bass player for local favorite "Christian Serpas and Ghost Town."

Jimmy Boitnott
Drums
Jimmy Boitnott is our Drummer and the backbone of our musical family.
Jimmy has been playing drums for over 20 years all over Southeast Louisiana and was also previously a member of "The Castaways Band" before becoming an integral part of "Bayou Stampede's" success.
Jimmy has a unique sense of musicality. He drives the dynamics of every performance, locking into the rhythmic feel to maintain the rhythmic integrity of every musical performance (while spinning his drumsticks for entertainment value).
Jimmy also ROCKS! His drum solos are iconic, and sometimes we give him the keys to the city and set him free!
