The 37th Annual Accordion Kings & Queens Concert Produced by Texas Folklife

Since 1989, the Accordion Kings & Queens Concert has been a Houston tradition, drawing capacity crowds to Miller Outdoor Theatre. Presented by Texas Folklife, this annual concert spotlights the accordion’s powerful role across Texas cultural communities and the many styles it brings to the stage: polka, conjunto, zydeco, Cajun, Tejano, swing, and more. This year marks AKQ #37, featuring headliner Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. and The Zydeco Twisters.

Rooted in a celebrated Louisiana family tradition, Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. and The Zydeco Twisters deliver dance-floor zydeco with driving rhythms and crowd-ready energy.

Led by Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. (David Rubin) on rubboard and vocals, with Tiger Dopsie (Alton Rubin Jr.) on drums and vocals, and Anthony Dopsie (Anthony Rubin) on accordion, the band brings a sound built for movement, connection, and a great night under the stars.

Texas Folklife preserves, presents, and celebrates the diverse living traditions of Texas through cultural documentation, public programs, and education. We center tradition bearers, support community-led storytelling, and strengthen connections across generations and cultures.

All performances at Miller Outdoor Theatre are FREE!
