Buckwheat grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana, where he was immersed in the music world at an early age. His father was an amateur traditional Creole accordion player, and tried to influence his son's musical tastes. At first, the young musician resisted his father's influence, listening to and playing rhythm and blues more often than not. He became proficient at the organ, and by the 1950s, he was backing big name musicians like Joe Tex, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and many others. Buckwheat, who got his nickname as a child, founded Buckwheat & the Hitchhikers in the 1970s. This funk band saw some success, recording the hit single "It's Hard To Get." After the short-lived group disbanded, he began backing legendary zydeco performer, Clifton Chenier. It was during this time that Buckwheat decided he too would perform zydeco music, and he began playing the accordion. In the early 1980s, he started Buckwheat Zydeco, and saw marked success. Since then, the group has been nominated for a Grammy and has opened for big name artists like Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Paul Simon. Don't miss your chance to see this amazing band live!
