Back when blues was king and South Louisiana was the breeding ground for a blast of some of the most memorable American music ever recorded... Leslie "Lazy Lester" Johnson carries the tradition around the world several times over each year. In 1998, he was inducted into the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame. In 2004, he played at Radio City Music Hall in New York as part of Martin Scorsese’s Year of the Blues super concert that resulted in his Lightning In A Bottle documentary. Lester's style is known as "swamp blues," and it's a mixture of blues, swamp pop, and classic country. Inactive as of 2/1/18
