ABOUT THE ARTISTS

BAND

Sponsored by

Corey Ledet was born and raised in Houston, TX, but spent his summers with family in the small town of Parks, LA. The Creole culture has its roots in Louisiana, but spread across the country, including neighboring Texas. Because of this, he was able to be immersed at all times in the Creole culture he loves so much.

In addition to the Creole musical roots, Ledet is influenced by mainstream artists of various styles, such as jazz (Hugh Masekela, George Benson), rock (Aerosmith, Guns & Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers), funk (James Brown, Maceo

Parker, Prince), blues (Stevie Ray Vaughn, Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker), country (Brooks & Dunn, Jason Aldean), reggae (Bob Marley, J Boog) and pop (Michael Jackson, Sam Smith, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake). He incorporates these various styles of music into his performances and his own original material to give incredible mixture of music for everyone. In 2013, Ledet was honored to be a 55th Annual Grammy nominee for his sixth record Nothin’ But The Best. This is Ledet’s first engagement at the Hopkins Center.
