As part of the Anchorage Folk Festival (February 2025), Corey Ledet Zydeco & Black Magic brought their music to the northernmost state, presenting an audio recap of the show with the recent release, Live in Alaska. After a short introduction to welcome the band, handclaps and a zydeco accordion lead the way into the album with “This is All I Want (Live)”. The tune becomes a shout-out from the singer when Corey Ledet bares his heart to thank the music that fulfills his soul. Live in Alaskaintroduces the “Boudin Man (Live)” as a mighty groove wraps around “Alaska Funk (Live)”. Corey Ledet slows to a stroll for the message of love in “Creole Cruising (Live)”.

Born in Houston, Texas, a younger Corey Ledet spent his summers in Parks, Louisiana where he fell under the influence of his grandfather Buchanan, a drummer for Clifton Chenier. By the age of ten Corey Ledet was playing drums for Wilbert Thibodeaux and His Zydeco Rascals. Corey Ledet Zydeco and Black Magic balance the musical output between English and French Cajun tracks, keeping the message about respect and love with both languages. Live in Alaska Live in Alaska, album number sixteen for the two-time Grammy nominee, captures a moment in time when borders were erased, and the frozen lands in the north bask in the warm glow of top shelf Zydeco talent with Corey Ledet Zydeco & Black Magic.
