Dwayne Dopsie

Dwayne (Dopsie) Rubin is the youngest son of the late King of Zydeco, Alton Rubin Sr. (aka Rockin' Dopsie). Born March 3rd, 1979, Dwayne Dopsie was raised in Lafayette, Louisiana where he grew up listening to and playing Zydeco music. At the age of four, he played the washboard like his brother, David, ?Rockin' Dopsie Jr.?, but he soon picked up the accordion and followed in his father's footsteps. 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.

Dwayne, who writes both the lyrics and music for the songs he records on his albums, received a Grammy pre-nomination recognition for Travelling Man in 2006. Reviews of his national and international performances are always glowing.
Currently, Dwayne is burning the trail on several continents touring to support his newest Sound of New Orleans release, Up In Flames.
