Invited to Open for Superstar Garth Brooks in Nashville
Debut Album Lands at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart
Wins Best Male Vocalist at the 2017 Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards
Honoring the Best in Country Music from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska
NASHVILLE, TN – Ned LeDoux wraps up an already career defining and memorable 2017 which was capped with an invitation to open for one of music’s biggest superstars and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Garth Brooks on December 15 in Nashville, TN. LeDoux performed in front of Brooks’ sold out crowd at Bridgestone Arena.
This year also included Ned taking home his first major award win – Best Male Vocalist at the 2017 Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards honoring the best in country music from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska.
In November Ned released his first full-length album Sagebrush which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. The Heatseekers chart is the week’s top-selling albums by new or developing acts, defined as those who have never appeared on the top 100 at the Billboard 200 or the top 10 of R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Country Albums, Latin Albums, Christian Album or Gospel Albums.
These career moments are the result of almost 20 years of hard work and touring. On stage since the late 90s as the drummer in his dad’s band, he put down the sticks two years ago, picked up a guitar and stepped to the front of the stage where he continues to tour heavily all over the US as a solo artist. The heavy touring and energetic shows have paid off earning Ned his own fervent and loyal following of fans who were eager for the release of his first full-length debut album Sagebrush.
Sagebrush is now available at all digital retailers. Sagebrush carries on the traditions, music and cowboy way of life passed down to him by his mom and dad, Peggy and Chris LeDoux.
Cowboys & Indians exclusively previewed his song “Some People Do.” Click HERE for the exclusive premiere.
Sagebrush carries on the traditions, music and cowboy way of life passed down to him by his mom and dad, Peggy and Chris LeDoux. Produced by award-winning Mac McAnally, Sagebrush completes and follows on the heels of his debut EP Forever A Cowboy released last year. Ned wrote or co-wrote eight of the 12 songs included on Sagebrush, and each song leaves no doubt as to what the LeDoux name stands for in country music.
