Zydeco Dance Party with CJ Chenier and The Red Hot Louisiana Band
C.J. Chenier is Creole music royalty. His father, the legendary Clifton Chenier, invented the style of music we know today as Zydeco and was the first Creole musician to be recognized with a Grammy Award. Raised in this indigenous American culture with its’ own distinctive language, cuisine and music, C.J. delivers soulful vocals along with jaw-dropping masterful accordion-driven Rock, Zydeco and Blues.
C. J. (along with Ringo Starr) was hand-picked by Paul Simon for his 1990 Rhythm of the Saints album and toured with Simon for his “Born at the Right Time Tour”. C.J. has also played with the likes of John Mayall, The Gin Blossoms, Ray Parker, Jr., Jimmie Vaughan, Sonny Landreth and Buckwheat Zydeco.
