Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. and The Ils Sont Partis Band

Zydeco music legend! Great dance band.

Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. plays Zydeco, Blues, Roots Music Notable Awards: 2 Grammy Awards, 1 Emmy Award, multiple Grammy nominations Early Life and Musical Roots Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. was born into a musical family in Lafayette, Louisiana, a city deeply rooted in the sounds of zydeco and Creole culture. His father, Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural, Sr., was a legendary figure in zydeco music, and Buckwheat, Jr. was immersed in music from a young age. Growing up just doors away from zydeco icon Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Jr. was surrounded by the vibrant rhythms and melodies that defined Louisiana's cultural landscape. At just 17, Buckwheat, Jr. began his musical journey by joining his father’s band, initially playing the rubboard, a signature instrument in zydeco music. His early training was informal, as he learned by ear, much like his father had done. Over time, Buckwheat, Jr. expanded his musical talents, becoming a multi-instrumentalist who played the Hammond B-3 organ, accordion, and other instruments. He eventually stepped into the role of frontman for the Ils Sont Partis Band, a group founded by his father and now synonymous with the zydeco genre. Buckwheat Zydeco Jr.'s career has been marked by significant milestones, both alongside his father and as a solo artist. He shared the stage with some of the most renowned figures in music, including Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Mavis Staples, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Dwight Yoakam, and Los Lobos, to name a few. These collaborations helped him hone his craft and shape a unique musical voice that blends zydeco, blues, and rock influences. Playing with his father have earned them accolades, playing prestigious events such as two inaugural balls in honor of U.S. presidents. His television appearances include major shows like The David Letterman Show, CBS Morning News, and Good Morning America, showcasing his dynamic stage presence to a global audience. His dedication to preserving and evolving zydeco music ensures that the genre continues to thrive, captivating audiences both young and old. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at door.
