More about Travis Matte & the Kingpins: Travis Matte’s experience playing fiddle with local Louisiana class acts such as Sheryl Cormier, Belton Richard, Wayne Toups, Blaine Roy, Jason Frey and many others, fueled his passion for music and helped earn him numerous awards from the Cajun French Music Association including four “Fiddler of the Year” titles. Travis eventually set out to learn and play the accordion in 2000 and shortly after formed his own band, Travis Matte & the Zydeco Kingpins. Two performing highlights that stand out for Travis are having the legendary Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin come out to one of his shows in Carencro, LA “What an honor and night to remember!”, says Travis. The other was opening up for Country Music Legend, George Jones. Travis says, “Having grown up listening to these two and performing on the same stage as George was classic!” With the Kingpin’s high energy show, original music along with those classic Cajun/Zydeco favorites, Travis Matte & the Kingpins are sure to entertain the best of crowds and festivals!
