Chubby Carrier grew up in zydeco music so it's not surprising that he is one of today's most popular and entertaining performers. He was born Roy Carrier Jr. July 1, 1967 in Churchpoint, LA and he lives today in nearby Lafayette. His grandfather Warren Carrier was one of the first zydeco musicians. His father Roy Carrier Sr. continued the tradition and his cousins Bebe & Calvin Carrier perform as The Carrier Brothers. Roy Sr. works in oil rigs while playing music part time. He taught Chubby the accordion at an early age and though Chubby usually played drums in dad's band as a teen, he would take over the accordion when dad was unavailable due to work. He joined Terrance Simien & The Mallet Playboys in 1986 and played washboard until leaving to form his own band in 1989 with brothers Troy & Kevin Carrier along with David LaJeune on guitar and Rodney Dural on bass. Their 1991 independent release Go Zydeco Go earned them national distribution with Flying Fish Records. This led to a couple of records with Blind Pig including the 1996 CD Who Stole The Hot Sauce? This 25th anniversary various artists comp is a good intro to their roster. Chubby Carrier now records on his own Swampadelic label. His latest CD & DVD Live At Knuckleheads, Kansas City was released Oct. 2007 and you can get them at http://www.chubbycarrier.com/ And here's Chubby Carrier & The Bayou Swamp Band performing Who Stole The Hot Sauce? from the DVD taped at Knuckleheads in Kansas City.
