Gulf Coast native Les Kerr has become a fixture on the Nashville music scene. The songwriter and performer has recorded nine albums including his latest, Bay Street, and Contributor, released in 2015.

Known for the musical style he calls “Hillbilly Blues Caribbean Rock & Roll,” Les performed his 25th Anniversary Mardi Gras Concert at Nashville’s famed Bluebird Café in 2016. Many of the songs he writes reflect his Gulf Coast, New Orleans-influenced and Mississippi background.

He tours as a solo performer and as leader of Les Kerr and The Bayou Band.
