Jeffery Broussard & The Nightime Syndicate

Jeffery Broussard Releases New Orleans Infused Zydeco Classic 

Opelousas, LA - September 6, 2023 - Louisiana zydeco legend Jeffery Broussard's latest single "I'm Coming Home" is a distinctive version of a regional classic that remains steeped in musical traditions from Lafayette to New Orleans—solid proof that you don't have to travel far afield for an original take.

Then again, for musicians as deeply rooted in the Acadiana countryside as Broussard, New Orleans can feel like worlds away. For decades, Jeffery Broussard has been at the forefront of the nouveau zydeco movement, and though years of touring has allowed him to share his tradition with the world, his commitment to his community has remained unshaken. As he likes to put it, "I love the places most people don't give a second chance."

But in "I'm Coming Home," the Opelousas native isn't afraid to extend a musical olive branch to his more cosmopolitan cousins to the east. With the Nighttime Syndicate bringing New Orleans-style piano and horns to perfectly compliment Broussard's plaintive accordion, this cover of Clifton Chenier's quintessential zydeco classic has been baked into a delicate blend of Louisiana nostalgia, with a little bit of Sam Cooke thrown into the mélange for good measure. It's the kind of song that makes you want to wrap your arms around someone next to you, to sway to the rhythm of the lilting accordion and thrill at the occasional flourish of horns.
