A prodigy, Koray became a professional drummer at age eight with the Trail Blazers.A year later, he played the accordion as well as his father. Being self-taught wasn’t easy. Since instruments were expensive, his father forbade Koray from playing his accordion, but he carefully sneaked in practicing without anyone knowing.That’s also how he learned the electric guitar and bass, sneaking around his father and uncles to play their instruments.After high school, he toured with veterans Roy Carrier, Curley Taylor, and whiz kid Andre Thierry, besides developing his own band. Thierry insisted Koray know every idiom of Zydeco and drilled that into him.These experiences made the multi-instrumentalist extremely versatile to maneuver easily between traditional, Noveau, and the more modern R&B influenced Zydeco.-- by Dan Willging https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/3604ca80-d729-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w587-h740-dc371a11-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boulder/kgnu-cfcz’s-mardi-gras-featuring-koray-broussard-and-the-zydeco-unit/100001977630905274 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, contests, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 40, max: 40, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boulder - **state**: CO - **country**: United States - **location**: The Avalon Ballroom - **lat**: 40.015361 - **long**: -105.2095268 - **full address**: The Avalon Ballroom, 6185 Arapahoe Road, Boulder, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: KGNU-CFCZ’s Mardi Gras Featuring Koray Broussard & The Zydeco Unit! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/52d0f8883545d6bab6d51c6c299e48371a7900de34a69742820f1a1975e9d782-rimg-w1200-h600-dc9744ba-gmir.jpg?v=1765523270 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is KGNU-CFCZ’s Mardi Gras Featuring Koray Broussard & The Zydeco Unit! being held? - **A:** KGNU-CFCZ’s Mardi Gras Featuring Koray Broussard & The Zydeco Unit! takes place on Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 pm at The Avalon Ballroom, 6185 Arapahoe Road, Boulder, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for KGNU-CFCZ’s Mardi Gras Featuring Koray Broussard & The Zydeco Unit!? - **A:** Tickets for KGNU-CFCZ’s Mardi Gras Featuring Koray Broussard & The Zydeco Unit! are priced at USD 40 per person.
