Corey Arceneaux (born November 24,1975) is an American accordionist, Creole Zydeco musician and Radio DJ.[1] [2]

Early Life

[edit]

Corey Arceneaux was born in Carencro, Louisiana, a small city in Lafayette parish. He started playing the accordion at age 11 under the tutelage of accordionist Clayton Sampy. He began touring professionally in 1991 with his great uncle Fernest Arceneaux and guitarist Rick Williams.[2] [3][4][5][6][7]

Arceneaux is a descendant of Ferdinand Arceneaux, who was a Creole/lala accordionist in the early to mid-20th century and the father of Fernest Arceneaux.[2] Arceneaux continues the family tradition by passing on the musical legacy to his own sons, who also play Zydeco music.[2] [8]

In 1992, he founded Corey Arceneaux and the Zydeco Hot Peppers, and they performed their first gig at El Sido's Zydeco and Blues Club in Lafayette. They were a local sensation and recorded their cassette "Hot Pepper" later that year. [9][2]

Clifton Chenier, the King of Zydeco, and Buckwheat Zydeco were his biggest influences. He grew up down the street from Buckwheat and is proud to have received mentorship from him.[3][5][2][7]

Career

[edit]

Corey Arceneaux and the Zydeco Hot Peppers have performed internationally and domestically. Arceneaux's music is a creative blend of R&B, Blues and Country fortified with traditional Zydeco – his compositions reflect his culture and ancestors.[1][4][10]

In addition, Arceneaux has been a radio DJ for more than 30 years, which has allowed him to promote Zydeco and the Creole culture of Southwest Louisiana to a larger audience. His radio show, Hot Sauce Saturday, airs on KFXZ and KSLO. The radio show highlights Zydeco with other Louisiana favorites such as "swingout" and "southern soul."[11][8]
