Cajun fiddler and teacher, founded Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys together with Steve Riley (3) in 1988. He had to leave the band on March 9, 2011 due to a necessity to reduce the exposure to loud sound for him to be able to keep his hearing. He is still playing, and active in several other bands, but he is able to play only acoustic music. He also occasionally plays tenor saxophone.

He has also played in GreelySavoyDuo (together with Joel Savoy), GumboJet (with Daniel Gale and Jo Vidrine) and Isabeau (with Marce LaCouture and Anna Laura Edmiston).
