zydeco cajun creole

K. Jones & the Benzie Playboyz are bringing the roots sound of southwest Louisiana's Creole, Cajun, and Zydeco scene to ya'll up here in the Great Lakes area.

The Playboys are dedicated to keeping the Cajun/Creole music alive with live performances for two-steppin', waltzing, and smoking red hot zydeco dancing.

Cajun/Creole French lyrics are common in many of the tunes we sing in the tradition of Amede Ardoin, Bois Sec, Canray Fontenot, Boozoo Chavis, John Delafose, the Balfa Brothers, Iry LeJune, Dennis McGee and many others.

The 10 button diatonic accordion of K.Jones is the driving force of our music, with Jonah Powell on fiddle to intertwine seamlessly into the melodies. Jamie Bernard is on the drums, with Bill Brown back with his funky smooth bass lines on the bottom end. Mark Stoltz is our man on the scrubboard and tit'fer driving the beat.....Mark also gives dancing lessons parties and workshops.
