was out to sea on the rigs. After asking his dad to teach him the accordion, Chubby was told, “If I teach history of jazz you the accordion, I want history of jazz you to play your own style. Let people know who history of jazz you are—Chubby Carrier.” Besides learning accordion from his dad, Chubby was also exposed to the blues on the records his father loved to play, especially those by B.B. King and Bobby Bland. After fronting various zydeco bands through high school, Carrier put down the accordion and picked up the drumsticks for a chance to go on the road with another rising Louisiana music star, Terrance Simien and the Mallet Playboys. Carrier toured Europe, Africa, and North America with the playboys for three years before unpacking his accordion to start his own band in 1989. Soon thereafter he cut his first album, entitled Go Zydeco Go. Chubby’s next recording, Boogie Woogie Zydeco, was released on Flying Fish Records in 1991.
