ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ned LeDoux
Northeastern KS
Ned LeDoux is a musician and the son of singer-songwriter and rodeo icon Chris LeDoux. He got his start as a drummer in his dad's band Western Underground in 1998, and he knew from an early age that he had no "plan b" -- he had to play music. When Chris passed away in 2005, Ned continued to tour with his father's band and picked up the guitar and tried his hand at some of his dad's songs. He has continued where his dad left off, finishing songs that Chris started, recording and performing. With his new album "Next in Line," there is is new voice to carry on the LeDoux sound.
