Beau Jocque

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beau Jocque (real name: Andrus J. Espre) (November 1, 1953 - September 10, 1999) was an American zydeco musician active in the 1990's.

Beau Jocque is known for his gruff vocals, his fusion of many musical styles onto zydeco, and above all, for the powerful energy of his rhythm and sound. Backed by the Hi-Rollers, he became one of the top dance-hall acts of his musical decade.

A large man, Beau Jocque died in the shower of a heart attack at the height of his career. He is buried in Saint Matildas Cemetery, Eunice, Louisiana.
