Album Description

Accordion Man is more than an album—it is a story that began generations ago and continues through the hands of Corey Arceneaux and his sons!

Celebrating 40 years as an accordionist, Corey reaches a powerful milestone with Accordion Man: his first feature recording alongside all three of his sons, bringing the family’s musical legacy into its fifth generation. For nearly 90 years, this Creole musical tradition has been passed from generation to generation—through family, culture, community, and the unmistakable sound of Louisiana Zydeco.

Accordion Man is a homecoming to those roots, while also serving as a bridge to new audiences around the world. It honors where the music came from while showing where it can go. This is the sound of a father and his sons. The sound of a family carrying history forward. The sound of Louisiana Creole culture reaching beyond its borders. Through Accordion Man, Corey Arceneaux continues his mission as an International Creole Zydeco Ambassador, preserving, celebrating, advocating and introducing Louisiana’s rich musical heritage to future generations.

Corey Arceneaux is a legendary Zydeco accordionist, vocalist, songwriter, radio personality and creole zydeco ambassador. Performing professionally since 1991. A member of one of the first families of Zydeco, Corey follows in the footsteps of his great-uncle Fernest Arceneaux and great-grandfather Ferdinand Arceneaux. On Accordion Man, Corey is joined by his sons, continuing a 90-year tradition of Creole music into the fifth generation.

Drawing inspiration from Buckwheat Zydeco, and the 'Lafayette Zydeco' sound, Corey's music reflects a deep connection to Louisiana's vibrant culture. He has performed nationally and internationally, including appearances at major festivals like the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Accordion Man was recorded at the Dockside Studio in Maurice, Louisiana with The Zydeco Fusion Band, and Grammy- winning engineer Justin Tocket on recording and mixing. Featuring Grammy-winning guitarist Joe “Cookie” Chavis, and multiple Grammy nominee Cecil Green, among other master musicians. Family is central to The Zydeco Fusion Band. Desmond Joseph, Corey’s eldest son, plays bass and produces; Tyler Arceneaux, the youngest, produces, drums, and plays scrubboard; Corey Arceneaux, Jr., the middle son, handles production in the control room.

“The Intro (Pull That Thing)” sets the tone with Corey singing about Louisiana zydeco pride and touring life, creating an instant raucous party atmosphere. That atmosphere carries on to title track “Accordion Man,” an energetic number that sees Corey telling the story of his zydeco journey. “I’ve been doing my thing / Traveling all over making this box sing / Spread my culture to everyone that I can pass it on to my sons,” Corey sings. “When It Comes To You” stands as another highlight, an impassioned love song accompanied by tasteful guitar playing from Chavis.

If you’re from Louisiana and familiar with Zydeco, you’ll feel like you got a dose of joie de vivre and “passed a good time” that only a visit home can give you. If you’re not, you’ll quickly recognize what makes Louisiana and its people unique and special.
