The Carrier family of Louisiana is as synonymous with Zydeco music as beads are with Mardi Gras. Troy Carrier, better known as Dikki Du, marks the third generation of the Carriers to keep the musical tradition alive.
“Zydeco is a family thing. If one plays, everyone plays,” says Carrier.
He picked up the washboard at nine years old, the drums at 13, and traveled the world professionally at 19. But Carrier’s life changed when we decided he wanted a band of his own.

In Memorium: John Henry “Jabo” Starks (October 26, 1937 – May 1, 2018) anchored the Red Bar Jazz Band for many years. He was our beloved American funk and blues drummer. He was best known for playing with James Brown. Starks played on many of Brown’s biggest hits, either as the sole drummer or in tandem with Clyde Stubblefield, including “The Payback”, “Sex Machine”, “Super Bad”, and “Talking Loud and Saying Nothing”. He also backed many of the artists produced or managed by Brown, most notably Lyn Collins, The JBs, and Bobby Byrd.
