Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole

One of the most noted young talents to emerge in Cajun or Creole music in the past few years, Cedric Watson is a fiddler, vocalist, accordionist and songwriter of seemingly unlimited potential. Born in 1983, Cedric grew up in San Felipe, Texas surrounded by the sounds of blues, old soul, country and zydeco.

After a stint with the Pine Leaf Boys, Cedric Watson released a solo CD which was nominated for a Grammy award later that year. Now his own band, Bijou Creole, continues to explore the roots of Creole music, injecting a healthy dose of his own personality and ingenuity into the world of zydeco, and bringing it to an ever-broadening audience.
