ABOUT:
Adam Leger Band: Adam Leger is a Country Music recording artist out of Acadia Parish, Louisiana. He began playing traditional Cajun Music jam sessions at age 14, on the Cajun Accordion, carrying on the family tradition of his father and his great uncle Belton Richard. Leger began writing songs at the age of 6, inspired by Country artists such as Alan Jackson, Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Chesney. Leger started a band at age 23 while working as an EMT. After his first gig, inside of a barn in Cow Island, Louisiana, he began getting invites and calls to play at local bars. After quickly making noise in the bar and club circuits, the band grew to perform at large festivals and dancehalls throughout the South. In 2023, the Adam Leger Band was nominated "Time's of Acadiana" Best live band of 2023. Live Shows consist of high energy Country Music along with elements of Rock and Cajun music
Dustin Sonnier & The Wanted: Dustin Sonnier is an American country music singer/songwriter from the small community of Vatican, Louisiana.
Dustin's passion for music began at a young age. "Growing up we listened to Keith Whitley and George Jones until my Dad went to work; then my Mom, a rocker at heart, introduced me to Ozzy, Van Halen, and Marshall Tucker" Dustin recalls.
Upon entering high school, Dustin quickly realized, " Girls are drawn to guys in a band." It was then, at age 13, that he picked up a guitar and joined a Christian country band. Dustin spent the next few years learning to hone his vocal and songwriting abilities.
In early 2006 Dustin Dustin felt it was time to spread his wings and form his own band. He quickly became a success in the local honky-tonk scene, playing almost seven nights a week for several years.
2016 brought the release of Dustin's first major recording project. The six song EP "Country" comes stacked with three songs penned by Dustin along with songs written by Michael McDonald and Don Pfrimmer. It also contains one of Dustin's favorite Conway Twitty songs, the 1972 number one, "I See the Want in Your Eyes".
In April 2016, his single, "Whiskey Makes Her Miss Me", debuted on Texas Regional Radio Report. In two shorts months the single continues to climb the charts, has more than 60,000 views on YouTube, and is becoming a honky-tonk anthem across Texas and Louisiana.
