The live experience
What reaches the room
Captain Leroy, formed in Seattle in 2001 as Captain Leroy and the Zydeco Locals, is a roots-driven zydeco and Cajun-influenced performer led by Leroy Radford on accordion and vocals. Known for high-energy, dance-oriented sets, Captain Leroy emphasizes traditional accents like the rubboard and partner dancing, delivering lively shows rooted in Northwest roots and Louisiana-inspired grooves. While online activity is limited in recent years, the project remains a notable part of Seattle's early-2000s roots music scene and a beacon for zydeco fans who value authentic accordion-led performances.
