Buckwheat Zydeco’s repertoire consists of soulful original tunes and the trademark exuberance that's made Dural the world's best-loved zydeco artist, and has earned Buckwheat Zydeco fame as "The World's Greatest Party Band."
Jackpot! is just the latest achievement in the four-time Grammy nominee's stellar career. Dural's unsurpassed artistry and tireless touring have taken the Bayou State native's Creole-French rave-ups and soulful breakdowns to new heights worldwide.
The band plays a long list of high-profile gigs year in and year out, and their music can be heard in a slew of major motion pictures and television shows. Onstage and in the studio, Buckwheat has collaborated with a “who's who” of musicians, including Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Mavis Staples and Los Lobos' David Hidalgo.
The band performed at both of President Clinton's inaugurals, and Buck was featured on the Closing Ceremonies of the Atlanta Summer Olympics before a worldwide television audience of three billion, sharing the bill with Wynton Marsalis, Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Little Richard and Gloria Estefan. Buckwheat Zydeco has also made numerous appearances on national television shows such as Late Night with David Letterman, The Today Show and the CBS Morning News.
