The Legendary Ils Sont Partis Band derived from the Late Great Stanley Dural Jr. also known as Buckwheat Zydeco. This Grammy and Emmy Award Winning band has performed over 2,800 shows and a host of television appearances. (David Letterman, CBS Morning News, Good Morning America, and more).
Carrying on his Father’s legacy and band, Stanley ‘Buckwheat’ Dural, Jr. now leads the band in his legendary father’s footsteps. Growing up at his Father’s side while he played festivals with a host of rock and pop musicians, including Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, U2, Willie Nelson, Robert Plant and Keith Richards, Buckwheat Zydeco, Jr. carries the Louisiana standard of Zydeco music throughout the country.
The Creole cousin of jazz, Zydeco music will have you up dancing in the isles, in your kitchen, in your living room, no matter your age or abilities; it’s family-festive music and we are thrilled to have this act with us for the second time.
