Mailing Address: PO Box 686, St. Martinville, LA 70582 Email Address: Corey.Ledet@Gmail.Com Website: Phone: F Corey Ledet was born and raised in Houston, Texas, but spent his summers with family in the small town of Parks, Louisiana. The Creole culture has it's 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. Not only is Corey influenced by his Creole culture, but he is also 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 also incorporates these various styles of music into his performances and his own original material to give incredible mixture of music for everyone. On January 3, 2003, Corey Ledet and His Zydeco Band was founded, gaining immediate local and national success. In 2004, he produced his first record, "3 Years 2 Late," on an independent label to showcase Corey's unlimited musical abilities. In 2005, he gained international success by touring Paris and Lyon, France. A year later, he entertained in Moscow, Russia. From there, he performed in Juneau, Alaska and several cities in Germany. He returned to France in 2009, to Holland in 2010, and to Maui, Hawaii in 2012. He finished off the musical decade by becoming a 55th Annual Grammy nominee for his sixth record "Nothin' But The Best." For the Grammy celebration, he was able to share the stage with Kix Brooks of Grammy Award Winning national country act "Brooks & Dunn." Corey's versatile sound enables him to energize any audience. Whether he is playing a solo acoustic set or is backed by a full band, you, as a listener, will always be thoroughly entertained. He finds joy in giving his audience a true dance/music experience in the ways of old-time house parties. So, come and enjoy the music tied to tradition presented in a new way. He looks forward to entertaining you!

  • Peter Novelli Peternovelli.Com
    Peter Novelli peternovelli.com Guitarist / singer / songwriter Peter Novelli is based in New Orleans. The Peter Novelli Band plays Louisiana roots and blues, a blend of blues-rock-R&B-funk with some zydeco-cajun influences. Novelli’s CD Louisiana Roots & Blues (June 12 release) with his core rhythm section Darryl White (drums, formerly w/ Tab Benoit and Chris Thomas King), Chris Chew (bass, North Mississippi Allstars), Joe Krown (B3 and piano, formerly w/ late Gatemouth Brown), and special guests Chubby Carrier (Grammy-winning zydeco accordionist), Chris Thomas King (lap slide guitar, Grammy “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou”), Shamarr Allen (trumpet) and Elaine and Lisa Foster on vocals. Novelli’s debut CD, produced by bassist David Hyde, hit the charts within a month of release and gathered widespread critical acclaim. His originals, with a few selected covers, made a journey through Louisiana-American blues-roots music. Guests include Dr. John, Paul Barrere, Augie Meyers, the late Gatemouth Brown’s rhythm section, and top Lousiana musicians. The CD includes an historical Tribute To Slim Harpo, with members of Harpo’s band including James Johnson, and interviews with Johnson, the late Raful Neal and “Big” Johnny Thomassie. Novelli started violin at age 6, picked up guitar at 14 after hearing a BB King record. The intensity, passion and raw emotional content of some of the blues masters (black and white, American and British) stuck in his ear and that is what drives him to this day. He likes to combine this feel with harmonic ideas of jazz, the relentless groove of zydeco, and just about any cool and unusual style of music or rhythm that works.

Monument Records’ Luke Jensen is not an ex-professional tennis player turned ESPN analyst. Nor is he a former Confederate soldier who now plies his trade as a bounty hunter. Instead, he’s a former radio guy with almost 20 years of experience as a programmer and on-air host to go with a decade as a promotion man. Now, he’s Monument’s VP of promotion, succeeding Drew Bland. Having the same name as tennis player Luke Jensen helped him meet Dave Matthews once, though. And he has the cover art of Western writer William W. Johnstone’s “Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter” novel hanging in his bathroom.
