The original 2-steps and blues-inspired rhythms of zydeco are transformed in to the contemporary dance-inspiring music of Roy “Chubby” Carrier and his group, the Bayou Swamp Music group. AS THE Chicago Tribune described Carrier as “among the finer regular bearers from the traditional zydeco audio among the brand new era of Louisiana rings,” The Worcester Telegram and Gazette praised Carrier for his “unbridled excitement and the capability to make a celebration happen whether he’s playing for five people or 500,” as well as the Atlanta Daily Information published that Carrier “understands how to allow the good times move with the energy and accuracy of a practiced musician.” Carrier comes from among zydeco’s most significant family members. His grandfather was among zydeco’s first music artists. His dad, Roy Carrier, Sr., is constantly on the balance his focus on an essential oil rig with shows with his personal music group. Many of his cousins toured and documented as the Carrier Brothers. Taught the accordion by his dad, Carrier produced his debut along with his father’s music group at age 12.
