Sonny Landreth

Event Announcement: Louisiana Calling

As part of our Fest-O-Matic series, we are excited to bring back Louisiana Calling, a 3-night residency by one of the finest slide guitar players to ever pick up the instrument, Lafayette's own Sonny Landreth! Bonnie Raitt calls him, "one of the most astonishing guitarists I know." Eric Clapton says, "Sonny Landreth is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also probably one of the most advanced."

About Sonny Landreth

With multiple Grammy nominations and credits that include Clifton Chenier, Jimmy Buffett, John Mayall, and John Hiatt, Sonny has been lighting up stages around the world for decades. We are blessed that he chooses Chickie Wah Wah as the place to do a residency with some of his favorite musicians in South Louisiana.

Performance Details

Each night will feature another artist handpicked by Sonny, starting with a full set of their own music, and then Sonny closing the show with a set of his own. On Friday, 4/25, Sonny will be joined by fellow Lafayette rockers (and Grammy nominee) Roddie Romero and Michael Juan Nunez. These guys are the cream of the crop when it comes to authentic Louisiana music. Sonny and his band will follow with a set of their own on each night.
