Artist description Jumbalaya. We LOVE jumbalaya! No, we’re not a cajun band, but our sound is really a “jumbalaya” of musical ingredients. Different, fun. Another strong point for us is our mix of personalities, a “gumbo” of creative people, if you will. (why do we always come back to food?! ) All these spices and flavors colliding and blending are what makes Mr. Gildersleeve tick. We're not just "different" for the sake of being different. Our lyrics have depth and meaning, our tunes are infectious. Check us out!
