C.J. Chenier, has been hailed "the crown prince of zydeco" (Boston Globe) after joining his father's Red Hot Louisiana Band on saxophone. Following his father's death in 1987, C.J. picked up the accordion, took over the band and set to spread the word of zydeco music to the world. Since then, Chenier has pushed the genre to new heights with his virtuosity. His musical style ranges from the traditional zydeco right on up to modern funk with healthy doses of blues, R&B, swamp pop and even country. C.J.'s total mastery of the accordion combined with his rich, satisfying voice are the driving forces behind this power-house zydeco band.
