ABOUT SONNY LANDRETH:
"There are chords that chime, dance atop the beat, mutate in midair or huff like a harmonica.
There are fast-picked overtones that arrive like a tuned hailstorm and gutsy nuances of distortion and feedback.
The effects can be startling, but they’re never gratuitous.
They are the sounds of a musician who has deeply investigated his instrument without leaving his roots.”
~The New York Times

ABOUT SONNY LANDRETH:
Sonny Landreth is one of the most unique guitar players on the planet. He has developed an original style that has not been duplicated. His roots are found in the Blues and Zydeco of the Louisiana/Mississippi region, and he took those roots for a ride.
Born:
Feb 1, 1951
Birthplace:
Caton, MS

Description:
Louisiana's Guitar Player:
Born in Mississippi, relocated to Lafayette, Louisiana, Sonny Landreth was immersed in the great Swamp-pop and Zydeco music of the area. He picked up a variety of musical styles playing with some of the best musicians on the Louisiana scene, while developing his considerable songwriting skills.
One of Sonny's first professional gigs was with Zydeco legend Clifton Chenier.
Landreth's guitar capabilities landed him work as a sought-after session musician. He has played on records by John Hiatt,Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt, Zachary Richard, Freddy Fender, John Mayhall, Kenny Loggins, Beausoleill, Junior Wells, Dolly Parton, Maria Muldaur, Allen Toussaint, and Mark Knopfler.
He hasn't really played on a big hit record, but he has played vital roles in other artist's careers.

The first thing guitar players do when they discover Sonny Landreth is scratch their heads and wonder how on earth he played what they just heard. He uses a slide but his strings are high off the frets and he is able to finger notes behind the slide. This totally unique style results in some of the most fascinating sounds heard from an electric guitar. Facilitating this new technique is a myriad of different tunings on his guitar. He uses so many different tunings that he has pioneered the use of an automatic guitar tuner mounted on his instrument.

Sonny played the trumpet as a teenager and uses hints of the articulation of the instrument on the guitar.
Although his grooves are typical Blues, Rock and Roll, and Zydeco beats, his approach uses his playing and songwriting to create a fresh new sound in roots music.

It can be very hard for a modern artist to have a distinctive voice in the Blues. Some fans expect a certain approach that relates to the artists of the past.
Sonny Landreth has shown that he can take that approach and create new grooves and sounds that are unconventional yet knee-deep in the spirit of the Blues.

Along with young artists like the North Mississippi Allstars, Sonny is taking the Blues and the guitar to the next level just like Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughan.:

About Sonny & "The Dr. Tommy Comeaux Memorial Endowed Fund"
"Although the soft-spoken slide master probably wouldn't admit it, Sonny Landreth is the driving musical force behind the preservation of traditional Southwestern Louisiana music and culture-and the memory of his late friend and colleague Tommy Comeaux-through an endowed chair at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette.
The Dr. Tommy Comeaux Memorial Endowed Fund for Traditional Music was established in 1997 following the untimely death of Lafayette musician Tommy Comeaux. Highly respected in his dual fields of music and medicine, Comeaux was struck and killed while riding his bicycle by a driver who had a seizure".....*
