ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ned LeDoux
Northeastern KS
Ned LeDoux is a singer, songwriter, musician, and the son of Chris LeDoux. He got his start as a drummer and later joined his dad’s band Western Underground in 1998. He knew from an early age that he had “no plan b” but to play music. When his dad passed away in 2005, Ned continued to tour with his father’s band and picked up the guitar to try his hand at some of his dad’s songs. He has picked up where his dad left off, finishing songs that Chris started, and recording and performing his own music as well. With his third and most recent album, Buckskin, Ned carries on a tradition, but writes his own story, delivering songs that celebrate a life that many aspire to, but few actually live.
