Dwight Carrier popularly known as, “The Black Cat” has become one of the most exciting Zydeco Accordionist of this era. He is deeply rooted in the “Carrier” family tradition, where music has always been a passion and implemented into much of their families past time. He embraces both his family tradition as well as his Cajun Creole Culture. Dwight has always had a unique style that infuses his zydeco, blues, country
and R&B influences.
Growing up in the small town of Church Point, La in a time where rap music was gaining momentum,
Dwight’s friends would laugh when he and his brother Joseph chose not to take that route. Initially, Joseph
played the accordion while Dwight played the drums. It was after many relentless hours of practicing with
his brother that Dwight grew restless. He yearned to play the accordion. It was with much practice, passion
and determination that Dwight not only learned to play the accordion but was he able to play it well. He and
Joseph switched instruments and it Dwight Carrier & the Zydeco Rockers was created.
In 1988, at the age of 14, Dwight recorded his
‑
R&B 45 LP entitled “My Baby Left Me”, earning him local
status, playing frequently on the zydeco circuit at trail rides and dance halls in and around the state of Louisiana. He realized that his friends were no longer laughing,In 1991, Dwight Carrier was asked to become a member of the Creole Zydeco Snap Band headed by Creole
& Blues musician Warren Ceaser. He accepted the opportunity and became the groups’ accordionist.
