Buckwheat on Percussion: who knew the brother was unce, tyce, and fee times a beast not just on the accordion, but also on the Hammond.
Here’s the answer to that age old question: who shot Buckwheat? Buckwheat Zydeco, that is. We did. He is an incredible performer and showed out for a fantastic Syracuse show (with a few encores). Buckwheat (aka Stanley Dural Jr) was given a proclamation by Frank Malfitano last night which made Friday, July 17, 2015 Buckwheat Zydeco Day.
The band moves on to Canada for a few shows next week.
