YVETTE LANDRY
Louisiana Music Hall of Famer/Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/interpreter/author/cultural ambassador…that a lot of different hats for one person to wear; yet Yvette seems to be making it work. Yvette Landry has her own style.
Landry fronts The Yvette Landry Band and Yvette Landry & the Jukes. Her debut award-winning album titled “Should Have Known” was released in 2010. (The album was named Offbeat Magazine's "Best Country/Folk Album" and Landry "Best Country/Folk Artist"). Landry has traveled the world even touring Russia serving as a Cultural Ambassador on behalf of the Library of Congress. She has graced the stage at both the Library of Congress and John F. Kennedy Center of Performing Arts in Washington, DC.
By day, Landry is an educator, teaching American Sign Language, song writing, bass, guitar, and accordion. By night, Yvette is a musician/singer/songwriter/author who continues to tour worldwide, gracing the stage with greats such as Vince Gill & The Time Jumpers, Darrell Scott, Rhonda Vincent, and many more.
Since her debut album in 2010, Landry has released four more CDs, and recorded on more than thirty records. Her first children’s book, “The Ghost Tree,” was nominated for “Louisiana’s Young Reader’s Choice Award.” And more recently, her second book, “Madame Grand Doigt,” along with “The Ghost Tree,” were formally accepted into the Library of Congress Collection for Children’s Literature.
Her latest project, “Taking the World, by Storm,” is two-fold. The book, “A Conversation with the Godfather of Swamp Pop,” covers the lifespan of this living legend Warren Storm, and the companion album, produced by Yvette and titled, “A Regional Roots Journey with The Godfather of Swamp Pop,” includes guest John Fogerty, and more.
