Chubby Carrier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roy "Chubby" Carrier is an American zydeco musician.
Carrier's father and grandfather both played zydeco music, and his cousins recorded under the name The Carrier Brothers. He was taught to play accordion by his father, and played with his father's band at age 12, first on accordion and then on drums. He played washboard with Terrance Simien from 1986 until 1989, then formed a group of his own with his brothers Troy and Kevin. Carrier's third album, 1993's Dance All Night, was his biggest success.[1]
