Minister of Dance, O.C.D.*

J.P.’s accordion and vocals give the band its singular identity. He brings 40 years of musical experience to Black Leather Zydeco, ranging from school days trumpet through Peter, Paul and Mary style folk music to Old-time banjo.

He has played over a dozen instruments in  Old-Time, Bluegrass, Country-Rock and Celtic bands, all past and now forgotten.

With a bachelor’s degree in music, he teaches private lessons on all the folk strings, as well as keyboard, accordion and music theory. Check out themusicianmaker.com.

For the past nine years, J.P. has concentrated on the dance music of southwestern Louisiana, emphasizing the Zydeco style of the Creole culture. He primarily plays the diatonic one-row button accordion (that’s a Jr. Martin B flat Cajun accordion with Salpa reeds, if you're taking notes).
