Nathan Williams, Jr. of Lil' Nathan & the Zydeco Big Timers

“As a kid, it was very inspirational to be part of [my dad’s group Nathan &] the Zydeco Cha Chas. I was basically a sponge absorbing everything I saw. I realized at an early age I wanted to be part of that and continue on my own when I became an adult.

I started on rubboard at three years old with my dad onstage and it was a good time for us to bond as father and son. My first accordion was given to me at age seven, a toy piano accordion, and I started playing with that. There was always an instrument in front of me. It was never forced upon you like you have to play zydeco but I always had instruments around because my dad had instruments.
