His accolades include:
? 2024 GRAMMY Award – Best Regional Roots Music Album (New Beginnings)
? 2009 GRAMMY Award – Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album (Lay Your Burden Down, 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards)
? Louisiana Music Hall of Fame Inductee (2024)
? Multiple Best of The Beat Music Awards
?️ Emmy Award for musical contributions to Pistol Pete: The Life and Times of Pete Maravich

Since his father’s passing in 2016, Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. has proudly led the Ils Sont Partis Band, performing with his father’s custom accordion and alongside his own son, Kyle Anthony Dural, on rubboard—keeping zydeco a living, multi-generational tradition.

With over 2,500 performances worldwide, Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. continues to blend tradition with modern energy, ensuring zydeco remains joyful, vibrant, and alive for generations to come.
