Roy Carrier and fan, Offshore Lounge

Like many veterans of the oil fields, Roy Carrier is missing part of his index finger on one hand, but that hasn't stopped him from become a master of the zydeco accordion. After working on offshore rigs during the oil boom of the 1970's, Roy decided to open a club in the tiny community of Lawtell, Louisiana and call it The Offshore Lounge. The Offshore's Thursday night jam session is the site of red-hot zydeco collaborations.
