General Information about Beau Jocque

[ Hide ]
Beau Jocque (born Andrus J. Esprit, November 1, 1953 - September 10, 1999) was an American zydeco musician active in the 1990s.
Beau Jocque died in his car, of a heart attack at the height of his career. He is buried in Saint Matildas Cemetery, Eunice, Louisiana.
Beau Jocque was born Andrus Espree. He was also known to write poetry, and preach about respecting nature. He spent nine years in the Air Force, then came home to work as an electrician and welder. After a work-related accident, which left him bedridden for a time, he began playing accordion. Soon after, he put a band together, including his wife, Shelly on rubboard. By 1989, just two years after his accident, Espree was one of the biggest draws on the Louisiana zydeco circuit.
