Master accordion-player Steve Riley started the Mamou Playboys with fiddler Dave Greely (who has since left the group) in 1988. Both were students of Dewey Balfa, one of the greats of the music form, credited with helping the music expand beyond the bayou. They’re a Cajun band, deeply rooted in the traditions of the music, but not afraid to innovate and take risks. They’ve pushed the music in new directions, incorporating Zydeco and Swamp Pop alongside traditional Cajun tunes and their own originals into a stunning repertoire of great music.
