Jeffrey Broussard and the Creole Cowboys

This may be a hot new band from Southwest Louisiana, but its leader, accordionist and singer Jeffery Broussard, was a mainstay in the famous Zydeco Force, a group that took zydeco and Cajun roots and updated them for modern dance crowds without ever losing the feel of the original Creole zydeco gumbo. Now Broussard has put together the Creole Cowboys to take the music into the next generation while still tapping into the great roots music of such masters as fiddler Canray Fontenot and Jeffery’s well-known accordionist father Delton Broussard. Joining Jeffery in the band’s frontline is fiddler and guitarist D’Jalma Garnier III, a one-time student of the late Canray Fontenot.
