Emerging from Michigan's Benzie County, K. Jones and the Benzie Playboys are one of the state's more popular "roots" bands. With a love for the Cajun, Creole and Zydeco music of Southwest Louisiana, they get people up and on their feet, show after show.

Celebrate Mardi Gras 2008 with Buckwheat Zydeco and K. Jones & the Benzie Playboys at The BOB in Grand Rapids. The show starts at 4:00pm on February 5th. Click here for more information.

K. Jones & the Benzie Playboyz are bringing the roots sound of southwest Louisiana's Creole, Cajun, and Zydeco scene to ya'll up here in the hinterlands of Michigan.

The Playboys are dedicated to keeping the Cajun/Creole music alive with live performances for two-steppin', waltzing, and smoking red hot zydeco dancing.

Cajun/Creole French lyrics are common in many of the tunes we sing in the tradition of Amede Ardoin, Bois Sec, Canray Fontenot, Boozoo Chavis, John Delafose, the Balfa Brothers, Iry LeJune, Dennis McGee and many others.

The 10 button diatonic accordion of K.Jones is the driving force of our music, with Jack Freeman on fiddle to intertwine seamlessly into the melodies. Scott Sholten remains our steadfast drummer, relentlessly keeping the time, with Ron Harrison back with his funky smooth bass lines on the bottom end. Mark Stoltz is our man on the scrubboard and tit'fer driving the beat.

We have a new 4 song demo that we have available to send out. Just call us or email and request it.

Mark Stoltz is booking us for the summer and fall and can be reached @ (231)510-7156.

Steve Quick, from True North Productions, music studios, was our audio engineer for our recording project. We recorded in the Red Room, our drummer's studio in Benzonia, Michigan. The tracks were recorded digitally on a Mac tower with Presonus Firepods.
