DWAYNE DOPSIE & THE ZYDECO HELLRAISERS

“He has no competition in his genres, he’s the Jimmy Hendrix of the
accordion.” -Rolling Stone

2023 Grammy Award winner and “America’s Hottest Accordion”
player Dwayne Dopsie brings a high-energy zydeco that keeps you wanting more.
Dwayne hails from one of the most influential zydeco families in the world.
Although inspired by tradition, he has developed his own style that defies
existing stereotypes and blazes a refreshingly distinct path for 21st century
zydeco music.

Dwayne, born in Lafayette, Louisiana, was the last of eight children. Dwayne
attributes his musical abilities to his father, Rockin’ Dopsie, Sr., a
pioneer of zydeco music. As a small child, Dwayne was interested in the
washboard, but quickly realized he had incredible talent with an accordion. He
has played the accordion since age 7.

“This is my calling,” he says. “Zydeco music is in my blood
and it is my heart and soul.” 

This singer/songwriter and accordionist has performed in 40 countries and also
in hundreds of cities across the United States, Europe, Brazil, Panama and
Canada since debuting his band at age 19. Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers has
been in Rolling Stone magazine; on the Big City Blues magazine cover, on Good
Morning America, CBS This Morning, the Travel Channel, Food Network, and the
Jamie Kennedy Experiment; and has been featured in Soul Bag Magazine and Offbeat
Magazine.

Because of the energy and power of the music they play, the act has won several
Offbeat Magazine Awards for the last six years for best accordion, best zydeco
artist, best zydeco band and best zydeco album. Most recently Dwayne Dopsie and
the Zydeco Hellraisers was nominated for a 2018 Grammy award, for the Best
Regional Roots Music Album. Dwayne Dopsie and The Zydeco Hellraisers not only
pump out incredible Zydeco music, but Dwayne’s incredible showmanship,
interaction with the crowd, and the rhythm and blues in their music make it a
performance not to miss!
