About California Blue Runners:
The California Blue Runners is a musical group specializing in Zydeco and Cajun music from southern Louisiana. Led by singer and accordion player Andrew Carriere, they are known for their exceptional performances.
Andrew Carriere
ACCORDION AND VOCALS

Haywood Douresseau
FROTTOIR (RUBBOARD)
Haywood Douresseau, another Louisiana Frenchman, developed an interest in Zydeco at an early age. Ten years ago, he went from dancer to musician as a rubboard player and manager. Today, he rubs the board for The California Blue Runners as well as with other local bands.
Tom Stewart
GUITAR
Canadian, Tom Stewart, discovered the Cajun/Zydeco community in 2005. He is currently one of the go-to rhythm guitarist in the Bay Area’s Cajun community and loves keeping the rhythm for The California Blue Runners!
Andre Nigoghossian
FIDDLE, ACCORDION, VOCALS
Andre got his first taste of Cajun & Zydeco music in college. The infectious grooves of la musique de la Sud de La Louisiane made a lasting impression and he’s quickly becoming one of the most sought after musicians in the Bay Area Cajun scene.
David (Killer) Hymowitz
DRUMS
David has been the premier percussionist for the Cajun/Zydeco music scene for the past 30 years. He's played with every notable Cajun band in the Bay Area in that time. Fortunately, he loves CBR as much as we love him!
