Leon Chavis & the Zydeco Flames

Leon Chavis has bold ambitions: He wants to change the way leon-chavisyou listen, understand and dance to zydeco. For Leon Chavis & the Zydeco Flames, this push forward means looking back and re-examining, mastering, understanding the roots of Creole culture and zydeco, then infusing it with Southern soul, R&B, and jazz to create a new musical experience. For Leon, it also means unleashing the accordion’s full potential as a musical instrument that can further convey a story of a living tradition in a wide range of emotions.
Leon Chavis is a part of a new generation of zydeco musicians proving that real talent, hard work, persistence, and charisma bring success in the music industry.
