The Louisiana native talks with Nick Spitzer about his start in Clifton Chenier’s band and where he’s taken the music since those early days. In an effort to bridge generational divides between zydeco fans, Buckwheat has covered popular artists like Jimi Hendrix and incorporated reggae grooves into his own songs.
