Dwight Carrier, popularly known as “The Black Cat”, has become one of the most exciting Zydeco Accordionist of this era.
He is deeply rooted in the “Carrier” family tradition, where music has always been a passion and implemented into much of their families past time. He embraces both his family tradition as well as his Cajun Creole Culture.
