Incredible Dwayne Dopsie Rocks Famous Daves
Wowie – My My My – Zowie!
Checking the schedule for Famous Daves is when we first heard about Wayne Dopsie. After checking his web site we decided to go, but we were not prepared for what the night had in store.
The place was unusually packed for a Saturday night, there were a couple parties there and the place was wall to wall. We managed to get a table in the back. When the band fired up, the crowd immediately hit the dance floor. The Zydeco Rhythm was infectious. Bus something was noticeably different about this band compared to other Zydeco acts that have come through.
Zydeco Hell Raisers Rock The House!
It didn’t take long to see that Dwayne, was a HOT player. While most accordion players I have seen are marginal to decent players who mostly play rhythm, this guy was a Lead player. He played the accordion, like a Hot Lead Guitarist. And he has got some Amazing Chops! All I can say is that I was Blown Away! This guy is Amazing.. You have got to see him Live to get the full experience.
Dwayne And Alex Rock Out!
And these guys Rock Out. Dwayne and most notably Alex the washboard player, (Skinny White Kid) put out so much energy, it completely Electrified the room! They broke into an immediate sweat and continued to power through 2/12 hours of Balls To The Walls High Energy Rockin Zydeco.
High Energy Zydeco To The MAX!
Hottest Accordion Player In America
Dwayne who’s playing is obviously inspired by Hendrix payed tribute with a rendition of “Hey Joe. It was Awesome, to hear Hot Lead Guitar Licks on the accordion, Unbelievable. Maybe there’s other guy’s out there thatcan play this good, but I’ve never heard them.
Man I wish I would have had a video camera with me. I did get some Hot Photos. But I did manage to find a video for you. There is also a sample of his music for you. Enjoy!

After traveling the zydeco circuit with his family, at the age of nineteen, Dwayne started his own band and has continued in the family tradition of entertaining. Some highlights fo his career (besides entertaining with his dad), were a Community Coffee commercial at the age of six, as well as a stint on The Dolly Parton Show.
