Jeffery Broussard and the Creole Cowboys will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20 at the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center, 10020 S.E. 256th St.
Broussard has gained the reputation as one of the greatest accordion players and vocalists to come out of the Creole culture, according to a city of Kent Spotlight Series media release.
Broussard’s musical career spans 40 years (he started playing drums in his father’s renowned band at the age of 8). He sings with emotion and soul, and his instrumental prowess includes range seldom seen in Zydeco – from traditional songs from the old masters to originals, single note and triple note accordion to fiddle.
The New York Times lauded the Creole Cowboys as “fabulous: You start moving in your seat as soon as their rhythmic, rich melodies, both joyous and mournful, flood the theater.”
