*new music* accordion man album 2026

Released May 22, 2026, Accordion Man is Corey Arceneaux’s landmark 10-track studio album celebrating 40 years of playing the piano accordion and his signature ability to “make it talk.” Issued by MoMojo Records, the project blends traditional Creole roots with Zydeco, Blues, Americana, and Southern soul, and marks Arceneaux’s first recording with his three sons, continuing a five-generation family music legacy. Since its debut, the album has earned strong chart recognition, including #4 on the Roots Music Report Top 50 World Roots Album Chart, #5 on the RMR Top 50 World Album Chart, #15 on the NACC National Top 30 Blues Chart, #2 on the Top 50 Singles World Chart for the title track, and #3 on Virginia’s state charts, where it remained for more than six weeks. A vibrant tribute to Arceneaux’s career and Creole heritage, the 40-Year Anniversary Project bridges tradition and innovation. Produced with his sons—Corey Jr. overseeing studio production, Desmond Joseph contributing bass and production, and Tyler Arceneaux adding drums, scrubboard, and production—the album was recorded at Grammy-winning Dockside Studio in Maurice, Louisiana, with Grammy-winning engineer Justin Tocket. Featuring contributions from Grammy-winning guitarist Joe “Cookie” Chavis and Grammy-nominated Cecil Green, Accordion Man is a heartfelt, family-driven work that carries forward the family’s 90-year legacy with musical excellence.
