In Memoriam: Clarence “Junior” Martin (1940–2026)

Cajun accordion building legend Junior Martin has passed at 85. From his shop in Scott, Louisiana, he built some of the finest one-row accordions in the world—often bright, bold, and marked with his signature crawfish.

A master craftsman, he supported generations of musicians with both his instruments and his generosity. His work—and sound—will live on in dancehalls and hands across the world.

Rest easy, Junior 🤍🪗
