BIO

LeRoux, who today remains a recording and touring act 30 years after its inception, could have been a much bigger band than they actually became. They incorporated a lot of the best elements from the best bands around: the vocal prowess of the Doobie Brothers or the Eagles; the country-pop sensibility of a band like Rascal Flatts; and the musicianship of an act like Little Feat. While they did have a few memorable hits and have maintained a solid fan base, they never became the household name that their aforementioned contemporaries did, despite major label deals with both Capitol and RCA Records.

Hailing from the New Orleans area, the band garnered the ears of music critics and radio programmers in 1980 with its own brand of Creole-influenced R&B and country-rock. Initially known as Louisiana's Le Roux, the group released its first album in 1978. The topical "New Orleans Ladies" got them enough attention to get the band signed to a major label deal and to have the ability to tour nationally.

Le Roux remains active on the road today; however only a couple of the original members remain in the band line-up.
