Boudreaux is the oldest living Mardi Gras Indian Chief, the elder of elders in a tradition dating back to the 1880s.

His vast discography includes many records with the Golden Eagles, collaborations with Anders Osborne, Galactic, John Gros and 101 Runners. 

On Bloodstains & Teardrops - Big Chief Monk Boudreaux connects the early music of the slaves in New Orleans Congo Square to the Caribbean as he demonstrates its similarities in lyrical, musical, and cultural content. On his journey from the island​ ​to​ ​the​ ​swamp ​he​ ​is​ ​joined​ b​y a plethora of musical legends including Tab Benoit, Michael Doucet, and Johnny Sansone as well ​as Jamaican​ ​and​ ​Louisiana​ ​musicians​.​ In the same way, it crossed the ocean in the late 1940s, it's alive and happening all over again. This record is a dramatic example of how his method of singing as a Mardi Gras Big Chief can apply to other genres.
