Chubby Carrier & Michael Doucet
Chubby Carrier
If you haven’t experienced the high energy, swamp funky zydeco sound of Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, it is high time that you join the legions of fans that have.
Once the accordion-playing virtuoso grabs the mic and takes to the stage with his band mates, audiences are treated to a show like no other. Chubby’s sound is infectious – a concoction of blues, 70s funk, rock and roll, and good-ole zydeco flavor – and makes even the most timid individuals get their feet a movin’.
Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band are turning heads around the world and bringing Louisiana flavor to the masses. The funky zydeco band’s latest release, “Zydeco Junkie,” earned one of the highest musical accolades when it was named Best Zydeco or Cajun Album during the 53rd annual Grammy Awards celebration in February 2011.

Michael Doucet
Since the mid '70s, Doucet has been one of the dominant figures of the
Cajun music revival, respected for his scholarship and admired for his
showmanship. On the one hand Doucet dredges up ancient Cajun tunes with
medieval French roots, and on the other plays flamboyant fiddle with
Beausoleil. Aside from Beausoleil, singer and fiddler Doucet has
performed and recorded with the more purely traditional Savoy-Doucet
Cajun Band. He is as passionate about Cajun tradition as he is eager to
drop-kick it into the 21st century, and for that reason Doucet has
earned the applause of both purists and plebians who just wanna boogie.
