  • Old Man Rush Brewing 10930 Mausel Street Anchorage, AK, 99577 United States (map)

Grammy-nominated Zydeco innovator Corey Ledet is a world traveler, having performed in 15 countries. He’s done numerous tours across North America, including countless festivals, private parties, major company corporate events, and weddings. In 2012, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for his Nothin’ But the Best album, then again in 2021 he was nominated for his self-titled album on Nouveau Electric Records; both albums are available on all digital distribution sites.

Having studied his Creole culture and music thoroughly, Corey Ledet’s versatile and traditional sound guarantees to please and rock any audience. Corey remains true to his roots. He keeps one foot firmly in the tradition while exploring surrounding influences in order to create the “best of both worlds.” He is able to infuse old and new styles of Zydeco and blues into his own unique sound.

Whether Corey’s backed by a full band (as he is bringing to Anchorage) or playing a solo gathering, you as a listener will always be highly entertained. He finds joy in giving his audience a true dance/music experience, so come and enjoy this music tied to tradition.
