Bryant Keith "T" Broussard’s fate as a Zydeco musician was sealed long before he was born. He is a descendent of Creole and zydeco music icons. His mother, Mary Jane Ardoin, stands alone as a female who has mastered the idiom of the traditional Creole accordion, a talent that was undoubtedly transcended from her uncle Bois Sec Ardoin, Creole music pioneer, her uncle Carlton Frank, world-known Creole violinist, and many others in the profession.
Besides his mother, whom Bryant credits for his love of the music, many other relatives influenced him. His cousin Keith Frank and Queen Ida, Grammy-winning Zydeco veteran of the West Coast are a few among many.
Bryant’s stage presence exudes a remarkable energy. He has been booked for performances from coast to coast. He has performed at the festivals nationwide, and locally in Louisiana, along with trailrides, casino performances, and dances. Some of his musical recordings can even be heard as the background music to promotional radio commercials and a Discovery Channel television program.
Bryant is a multitalented musician, also able to plays drums, scrub board, and bass guitar. Although zydeco music is Bryant’s primary performance style, he also plays traditional Creole music.
