2018 ICON AWARD HONOREES

Artist-Performing: Sonny Landreth- one of the worlds greatest slide guitar players. Landreth has collaborated with the very top names in guitar over the years: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks – the list goes on. The noted slideman cut his musical teeth in The Red Hot Louisiana Band of zydeco king Clifton Chenier, and Landreth has since recorded and toured with artists ranging from John Mayall to John Hiatt.

The ICON Awards is an inaugural event celebrating those in
our community who have made an impact on Acadiana through Arts, Business and Culture.

The proceeds from the event will provide a foundation for the ABC Fund,
which is dedicated to sustaining, advocating for and protecting Acadiana’s
creative economy by providing ongoing business and financial support
to organizations and individuals throughout the region who have devoted
themselves to music, culture and the arts.
