Rockin' Dopsie, Jr. (Singer-Songwriter)
Hailed as the “James Brown of Zydeco”, Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. is an electrifying performer who has ignited hip-shakin’ and foot-stompin’ good times across the globe. Along with his band, the Zydeco Twisters, audiences are captivated by the high-energy and engaging performance allowing them to let loose and have a good time (or as they say in his homebase, New Orleans, “laissez les bon temps rouler”!)
As the son of the late Rockin’ Dopsie (pronounced Doop’ see), the King of Zydeco, Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. weaves his Zydeco roots with feel-good Rhythm and Blues that keeps folks smiling, dancing and singing along from start to finish. Yet folks never want the show to end; the roar of “Just one more song” is a common occurrence.
Rockin’ Dopsie Jr., Louisiana Hall of Fame Inductee, has performed with the legendary likes of Beyonce, Tina Turner, Paul Simon, Britney Spears, Bonnie Rait, B.B. King, Harry Connick Jr., the Neville Brothers, John Fogarty, Earth Wind and Fire, the Doobie Brothers, Dr. John, Buddy Guy, John Schneider, Cindy Lauper, and Jimmy Buffet just to name a few (wink!). He and his band are invited back over and over again by corporations, festivals, brides and grooms, associations, schools and of course, their fans around the world.
Needless to say, audiences of all ages just can’t get enough of Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. and the Zydeco Twisters.
