Adding pyrotechnics, loud electric guitars, whining fiddles, the beating drum and a bucking machine and Chris LeDoux goes to work.Ĭhris LeDoux was born on October 13, 1948. Finally, he walks into view of the crowd, ready to give them two and a half hours of his cowboy music and music from other writers. The band starts going into the first song of the night. He hears his name called out over the noise of the crowd, now screaming for his first appearance on the stage. His heart is beating fast, and he starts sweating.
Nearly 200 nights a year, he straps on his Gibson acoustic guitar, and waits for his introduction.
