Edwin Duhon (11 June 1910 – 26 February 2006) was an American musician and co-founder of the Hackberry Ramblers, a band playing a combination of Cajun music, Western swing, and country music.
Duhon was born in Broussard, Louisiana. He formed the Hackberry Ramblers along with fiddler Luderin Darbone in 1933.[1] He first played acoustic guitar and went on to play electric guitar, piano, double bass, harmonica, and accordion at various times. He focused solely on the accordion from the mid-1990s. Duhon's last performance was in November 2005.
In 2002, Duhon and Darbone received a National Heritage Fellowship from the U.S. National Endowment for the Arts, which is the country's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.[2]
Duhon died at the age of 95 in Westlake, Louisiana.
