CJ Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band

CJ Chenier, “The Crown Prince of Zydeco,” was born into an indigenous American culture with a distinctive language and music. The Creole son of Clifton Chenier, he started playing in his father’s band shortly before Clifton died. CJ delivers soulful vocals along with masterful accordion-driven Zydeco and blues. A Grammy-nominated musician and recording artist, CJ and his Red Hot Louisiana Band will get some part of you moving.

This music is about as real as it gets. Zydeco accordionist CJ Chenier takes the mantle from his father and uncle, Clifton and Cleveland, respectively, and puts on a hard-hitting boogie and blues concert.”
