Beau Jocque is known for his gruff vocals, his fusion of many musical styles onto zydeco, and above all, for the powerful energy of his rhythm and sound. Backed by the Hi-Rollers, he became one of the top dance-hall acts of his musical decade. A large man, Beau Jocque he took the stage name "Beau Jocque," which is Louisiana Acadian slang for "Big Guy."
