Accordionist Jeffery Broussard was a leading member in Zydeco Force, an influential band at the forefront of the nouveau zydeco movement. His accordion and vocals defined this new style of Creole music, incorporating the soulful sounds of R&B into contemporary zydeco music and dance. But he's also the son of famed accordionist Delton Broussard, and he began his musical journey on the drums in his father's legendary band, the Lawtell Playboys, who were themselves innovators. During this time, Jeffery was exposed to some of the great Creole fiddle players, including the king of the zydeco fiddle, Calvin Carrière. Jeffery has retained the precious melodies and songs he heard at home, at social gathering,s and on the bandstand. With the creation of the Creole Cowboys, and with a mean Creole fiddle added to his arsenal, he captures the essence of Louisiana's rich musical heritage. If you like Buckwheat Zydeco, you're going to love Jeffery Broussard! Says Claudia La Rocco of the New York Times: "Mr. Broussard and his Cowboys are fabulous: You start moving in your seat as soon as their rhythmic, rich melodies, both joyous and mournful, flood the theater."
