Dwight James

Acadiana Center for the Arts

For two decades, Valcour Records has stood at the heart of Louisiana’s roots renaissance — preserving the traditions of Cajun, Creole, zydeco, and folk while amplifying the voices shaping its future. Founded in Eunice, Louisiana, by partners Joel Savoy and Phillip LaFargue, Valcour has become a touchstone for the state’s cultural identity, producing award-winning albums and nurturing artists whose music carries the sound and soul of Acadiana to audiences around the world.

Twenty Years of Valcour Records

Louisiana native Dwight James makes a strong case that the southwest corner of the state is fertile ground to more than the familiar Cajun and Zydeco sounds that sprout like sugarcane. A singer, songwriter, and guitarist Dwight James serves up a plate of Southern musicality rich in rock, blues, soul, and R&B that Bandcamp calls “a stellar fusion of past and present.”
