Band leader Robert Graves Leonard (a.k.a. "Zydeco Bob") provides the soulful lead vocals and amazing accordion sounds that define the band. An accomplished musician, he has performed with many Louisiana bands including C.J. Chenier, Geno Delofose, Rosie Ledet and Lee Benoit. Bob is also an award winning singer/songwriter and Nashville recording artist, and contributes many original songs to the band.
Bob's accordion skills have made him a featured performer at festival accordion workshops, exhibiting side-by-side with master performers of the genre including Leroy Thomas and Cheryl Cormier.
In 2001, Bob completed and released a full length CD project of his all-original Zudeco material with many of the hottest Louisiana Zydeco musicians on the scene today. Recorded in Louisiana, Bob handpicked authentic musicians who have grown up surrounded by this special music and who play with well known nationally touring bands- in some , their own. The result is a wonderful showcase of talent to accompany what may someday be Zydeco hit standards.
