The son of influential Cajun accordionist and songwriter Iry Lejeune, Eddie Lejuene was only five years old when his father was killed in a tragic automobile accident. Although most of his knowledge of his father's music came from old 78 rpm records, Lejeune has successfully continued his family' s great musical heritage. According to Time Out magazine, "It would be no exaggeration to say that Eddie Lejeune is the finest Cajun accordionist alive."
A native of Ardoin Cove, a small town near Lacassine, LA, Lejeune retains few memories of his father. In the liner notes to his 1998 album, It 's In The Blood, he recalls "sitting on his lap and doing a few things, like him riding his bicycle on a cloudy day". Much of what he's learned about his father came from his maternal grandmother, Adelina Blanchard, an accordion player who regaled him with stories as a youngster.
