Beau Jacques (born Andrus J. Espre, November 1, 1953 - September 10, 1999) was an American zydeco musician active in the 1990s. Beau Jacques 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. Beau Jacques was found collapsed in the shower by his wife, dead of an apparent heart attack at the height of his career. He was a long time resident of Kinder, La and is buried in Saint Matildas Cemetery, Eunice, Louisiana. The Kinder natives take pride that Beau Jacque was their neighbor and friend. To this day its nothing for someone to pop in one of his cd's and sing along to one of his songs. Since his passing residents can go enjoy a good time at the local bar that has taken on the name of Hi-Rollers after his band.... More at Wikipedia... Enjoy and Lâche pas Chère !!!
