Personnel Bios

Tony Daigle - with 8 Grammy winning albums and 20 Grammy nominations on his resumé, it's safe to say that Tony has an ear for superb performances.  He has worked with the likes of B.B. King, Sonny Landreth, Jon Cleary, Dr. John, Charlie Wooten, James McMurtry, Wayne Toups, Steve Riley, Lost Bayou Ramblers, and too many more to mention here.  Tony has Electric Comoland Studio in Lafayette, LA.

Cary Morin - has been described as “one of the best acoustic pickers on the scene today,” Cary Morin brings together great musical traditions of America and beyond. With deft fingerstyle guitar, vocals that alternately convey melodic elation and gritty world-weariness, Morin crafts an inimitable style often characterized as acoustic Native Americana with qualities of blues, bluegrass, jazz, jam, reggae, and dance.

“ ‘Cary Morin is a unique and brilliant guitar player, songwriter and singer, ‘ says renowned folk musician David Bromberg, extolling the virtues of one of his favorite players… As a guitar player, I have huge respect for Cary’s style and technique on the guitar.  If you haven’t heard him yet, you should. Try to remember that it’s only one guitar.’  “  - Dan Forte for Taylor Wood & Steel Magazine, June 2018.

Cary has won numerous awards for his work, particularly for his 2017 release, Cradle to the Grave and 2018 release, When I Rise. Most recently he is the recipient of the 2019 Indigenous Music Award for Best Blues CD, 2018 Independent Music Awards for Best Blues CD, and has earned a host of other awards for his artistry.

Lee Allen Zeno - grew up immersed in the Louisiana music scene from the age of 11, when he started playing in public. Having demonstrated a natural ability to cross the genres of blues, zydeco, gospel, country and soul music, Lee Allen became an in-demand bass player while still in his teens. Lee Allen hails from the Lafayette, LA area.

Perhaps best known for his long tenure as the bass player for the Buckwheat Zydeco band, Zeno has also worked extensively as a session player, having recorded with Dalton Reed, Charlie Rich, Guitar Shorty, Lil’ Brian Terry, Clarence “Frogman” Henry, Jean Knight, Major Handy, Archie Bell, Barbara Lynn, Bobby Allen, Willie Cobbs, Leon Sam, Henry Gray, Lazy Lester, Chick Willis and many others.  -(excerpted from  https://forbassplayersonly.com/interview-lee-allen-zeno/)

Brian Brignac - is a drummer from Gonzales, LA, just west of New Orleans. He has recorded and/or toured with international artists such as Fats Domino, Sonny Landreth, Bobby Charles, Jo-EL Sonnier, T., Graham Brown, Gregg Wright, The Spinners, Foy Vance, The Little Band Of Gold, Cindy Cashdollar, Wayne Toups, Chubby Carrier, The Williams Brothers, Melvin Taylor, Peter Novelli, Bruce Daigrepont, Tommy Malone, C.J. Chenier and Lisa Mills.

Brian has played on a Grammy Award winning album with Jo-EL Sonnier and two Grammy nominated albums with Sonny Landreth. Brian owns a music studio and also works for Advertising Agency, Bionic Monkey. He has engineered thousands of radio and tv ads all across the country. Brignac has also engineered and/or produced many other artists' projects. Brian studied Music Education under the esteemed Dr. John Raush at Louisiana State University. -(excerpted from https://dreamcymbals.com/artists/usa/brignac-brian)

Corey Ledet - was born and raised in Houston, Texas, but spent his summers with family in small-town  Parks, Louisiana. Grammy-nominated Zydeco innovator Corey Ledet is a world traveler, having performed in 15 countries. He's done numerous tours across North America, including countless festivals, private parties, major company corporate events, and weddings. In 2012, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for his "Nothin' But the Best" album, which is available on all digital distribution stores. Having studied his Creole culture and music thoroughly, Corey's versatile and traditional sound guarantees to please and rock any audience. Corey remains true to his roots. He keeps one foot firmly in the tradition while exploring surrounding influences in order to create the "Best of Both Worlds." He is able to infuse old and new styles of Zydeco and blues into his own unique sound.

John Fohl - "...came down from Montana in the old century and made himself an indispensable member of the New Orleans music community. His signature gig was a decade-plus-long residence at the Dr. John school of funkology during Mac’s Lower 911 days, a period that included some of Dr. John’s most political writing in the wake of the Katrina flood. Fohl has been much in demand elsewhere as well, teaming up with Johnny Sansone and Anders Osborne for the acoustic workshops at Chickie Wah Wah that turned Osborne’s career around, and supporting a variety of musicians in the area...

Hands On You, Fohl’s third solo album, is a classic from start to finish, a step forward from the excellent Teeth and Bones. The songs are all Fohl originals and he has assembled an exceptional band of old friends to record it: Eric Bolivar on drums, Cassandra Faulconer on bass, John Gros on piano and Hammond B-3, Johnny Sansone on harmonica and Rod Hodges on accordion..." - (excerpted from http://www.offbeat.com/music/john-fohl-hands-independent/)

Beau Thomas - started playing music at the age of 17. Within 5 months he was touring the world professionally. Beau Thomas & Cajun Power released their first CD in 2003, which quickly sold over 50,000 copies. Beau has travelled to over 27 countries. He has toured and played many great Louisiana artists. Beau has performed for two American Presidents and three Vice Presidents, numerous Ambassadors, Senators, Foreign Diplomats, a King and Queen, and numerous Presidents on foreign soil. A native of Abbeville, Louisiana, Beau currently resides in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Eric Adcock - As one of Louisiana’s most rockin’ piano pounders, you can count on  Eric to put on a great show. Raised in Lafayette and  calling Abbeville, LA home, he credits great blues and boogie-woogie  pianists Professor Longhair, Dr. John and Jerry Lee Lewis as sources  of inspiration. Adcock began playing the piano at age five and began  formal lessons at five-and-a-half.

Adcock and Roddie Romero first teamed up as musical colleagues when they were  teenagers — and their legacy of musical partnership continues today.  Together, they have been writing music and touring internationally for  almost 20 years.

Keith Blair - is a veteran Lafayette, LA blues guitarist and singer. A master on the Stratocaster, Blair is widely known as one of the best on the instrument in Acadiana. Blair has also lent his lead guitar talents to stars like Texas soul man Delbert McClinton, Louisiana country star Dustin Sonnier, and frat party accordion favorite Jamie Bergeron. 

Celeste Di Iorio - has performed for many years as a vocalist, guitarist, dancer, and in theatre.  She currently tours with Cary Morin and works in the music biz as an agent/manager for Cary Morin, Pura Fé, and Ray Bonneville.

BANDWAGON MAGAZINE – Album Review: Cary Morin – Dockside Saints, “…Fact is, on Dockside Saints, it’s all really good stuff. Throughout, Morin has an amazing ability to mix in a little of just about everything, while staying unique and true to himself...

BMAN’S BLUES REPORT – “…I think this is the best of Morin so far, and I think a really solid release.” -B-Man, August 4^th, 2020 https://www.bmansbluesreport.com/2020/08/cary-morin-dockside-saints-new-release.html

CD HOTLIST (New Releases for Libraries), “Cary Morin is an artist with a complex ethnic and musical heritage: an American Indian of Crow heritage who grew up in Great Falls, Montana, he is a virtuosic fingerstyle guitarist whose music is deeply informed by the cultures of the Mississippi Valley, particularly of Southern Louisiana. His latest album evokes (sometimes simultaneously) the sounds of New Orleans, Memphis, and Mississippi… The string that binds everything together is Morin’s fine songwriting combined with his astounding guitar technique. Highly recommended.  -Rick Anderson, August 3^rd, 2020 https://cdhotlist.com/2020/08/03/august-2020/

COLORADO SOUND – Interview: Cary Morin, “…Fort Collins-based musician Cary Morin needs little in the way of introduction. A virtuoso in almost any style on guitar, Morin has won countless awards, including at Telluride and within the indigenous music community and blues music communities. Having played in front of native audiences to European ones, from The John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to the stages at FoCoMX in Fort Collins, Morin has been everywhere…” July 15^th, 2020  https://coloradosound.org/interview-cary-morin/

COWBOYS & INDIANS – From the new album, Dockside Saints, Cary Morin’s finger-style Native Americana tribute to his Crow heritage needs to be put on repeat.  Song premiere “Valley of the Chiefs,”-Dana Joseph, July 20^th, 2020  https://www.cowboysindians.com/2020/07/premiere-cary-morin/

DISCIPLES OF SOUND – Cary Morin Channels Little Feat, “The 12-track album kicks down the door with “Nobody Gotta Know.” This is a nod to Little Feat’s “Hate To Lose Your Lovin” and just about any Zachary Richard and/or Buckwheat Zydeco track. It’s got a swagger and passing wink that delivers a naughtiness that’s pretty infectious.  Brian Brignac’s drumming would catch even the late Richie Hayward’s attention because of how tight and full it is from start to finish. And the lead guitar work (I assume from John Fohl) is fat and firm with just enough flash to let you know that there’s a lot more gas in that tank. If the balance of the record is this stable and steady then Dockside Saints is going to become part of the history it seems to so aptly celebrate.” – June 17^th, 2020 http://disciplesofsound.blogspot.com/2020/06/carey-morin-channels-little-feat.html

GLIDE MAGZINE - FINGER-STYLE GUITAR WIZARD CARY MORIN BRINGS KILLER SONGS TO THE BAYOU VIA ‘DOCKSIDE SAINTS’ (ALBUM REVIEW), “…great songs delivered by a band of the highest caliber South Louisiana musicians, just brimming with hooks, infectious rhythm and deep soul. Morin’s considerable guitar skills are still on display but not necessarily in the forefront. His songs take on a completely new wardrobe here, dressed in Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco, produced by one of the best in the business, Tony Daigle, at the renowned Dockside Studios, hence the album name…He brings a singular soul that fully engages all. Let’s recognize Morin as an outstanding songwriter…” – Jim Hynes, August 5^th, 2020 https://glidemagazine.com/246893/finger-style-guitar-wizard-cary-morin-brings-killer-songs-to-the-bayou-via-dockside-saints-album-review/

IN A BLUE MOOD – Cary Morin Dockside Saints, “…Recorded at Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana, by producer Tony Daigle, Morin displays his versatility and immaculate musicianship and vocals on twelve originals…Morin's artistry is on full display on the excellent "Dockside Saints." -Ron Weinstock, August 10^th, 2020  http://inabluemood.blogspot.com/

JACE MEDIA (Ireland) – Cary Morin – “Nobody Gotta Know” – Single Review, “…great track with soul and direction.” -Darren McIntyre, July 23^rd, 2020 https://www.jacemedia.co.uk/all-things-americana

JAMBAND NEWS – Cary Morin Releases New Album “Dockside Saints…” – “…The album gets you up and out of your seat just as much as it satisfies your soul...,” June 17^th, 2020 http://www.jambandnews.net/2020/06/17/cary-morin-releases-new-album-dockside-saints-on-august-7/

MAKING A SCENE – “…Cary Morin releases the best album of his career at a time when promoting new music will take a higher power. There is something special at play here, perhaps something ancestral was captured, some ancient Native culture of the South. The Crow Akbaatatdia, and the Cajun and Creole voodoo traiteurs, (spiritual healers), cannot help but be pleased with the fusing of Cary Morin’s award winning and dynamic finger-style guitar, his Native Americana songwriting and melodies, and pure Louisiana soul…” -Viola Krouse, August 7^th, 2020 https://www.makingascene.org/cary-morin-dockside-saints/

MICHAEL DOHERTY’S MUSIC LOG – “…The album opens with “Nobody Gotta Know,” and right away I’m digging the Cajun sounds and that delicious rhythm...”  -Michael Doherty, June 24^th, 2020 https://michaelsmusiclog.blogspot.com/2020/06/cary-morin-dockside-saints-2020-cd.html

NO DEPRESSION – Cary Morin’s Textured Vocals Anchor Zydeco Romp on ‘Dockside Saints’ – “…the thing about Morin is his voice, textured and steady, is the glue holding the songs together. You’re not drawn to the vocals because they dominate the tracks ― it’s the opposite. The vocals work because they mesh with every style within every song, an auditory illusion where two people hear different things when listening to the same sound. Zydeco fans might hear a Louisiana growl in his singing. Blues fans will hear more of a smoke. And rock fans might think Morin comes from their world. Morin’s voice fits into so many styles that the songs make perfect sense, even when he and his band are juggling musical genres…” -Steven Ovadia, August 5^th, 2020 https://www.nodepression.com/album-reviews/cary-morins-textured-vocals-anchor-zydeco-romp-on-dockside-saints

PASADENA WEEKLY – Trax   “…Southern gospel, and history-haunted narratives (“Chosen Road,” “Valley of the Chiefs,” inspired by his Crow family heritage). Morin’s evocative acoustic and slide playing and earthy vocal delivery position him on fertile terrain, somewhere between Malcolm Holcombe’s shamanistic intensity and Van Morrison’s gruff soul…” (4 out of 4 stars) - Bliss Bowen, August 6^th, 2020 https://pasadenaweekly.com/trax-08-06-20/

PRO SOUND NEWS – Tracks  July 21, 2020 https://www.prosoundnetwork.com/recording/music-production/tracks-july-2020

ROCK AND BLUES MUSE – Dockside Saints, Cary Morin  “…At times, Dockside Saints is thrilling, galloping with all the edge and danger of an outlaw. Elsewhere, it is languid and deep, irresistible. Morin’s guitar lifts and rolls, humming low and sparkling bright, weaving a spell from plucked strings, which at first appears simple, yet captures the ear with overlaid rhythms, sympathetic melodies and intriguing counterpoints. To say that the band is at their most compelling on the more adventurous tracks is merely a personal preference. Every cut here is more than worthy of your time. Taken as a whole, it is another strong addition to Morin’s already impressive legacy.”  -Chris Wheatley, July 27^th, 2020 https://www.rockandbluesmuse.com/2020/07/27/review-dockside-saints-by-cary-morin/

ROCK IS THE NEW ROLL – Cary Morin Dockside Saints  “…Exploring the musical landscape on the dirty side of roots-based Americana this eclectic guitar-slinger will have you riveted from the opening bell with “Nobody Gotta Know” a voodoo blend of Cajun, Swamp Rock, with hints of Bluegrass that seemingly shares some DNA with Dr. John…” –Rock Is the New Roll, August, 10^th, 2020  https://rockisthenewroll.com/2020/08/08/five-cool-ones-five-new-new-albums-released-this-week-august-7-2020/

TAHOE ONSTAGE  - Cary Morin brings unique spirit to ‘Dockside Saints’ -  “…Cary Morin’s obvious talent and wisdom, and his perfectly subtle incorporation of two different heritages, has resulted in an extraordinary blues album. It’s another fine mark of a real American blues star, ascending rapidly.” -Tom Clarke, July 21^st, 2020  https://www.tahoeonstage.com/genres/blues/cary-morin-brings-unique-spirit-to-dockside-saints/

TAKE EFFECT – Cary Morin Dockside Saints - As one of the most revered modern acoustic pickers, Cary Morin returns with more of his genre defying song craft that recruits Cajun, Creole, Zydeco and plenty of other styles into the Native Americana prowess of Dockside Saints… An album that’s not lacking in grooves, rhythm and unpredictable songwriting, expect traces of blues, gospel, country, funk and jazz to grace these arrangements, and expect them to be delivered in a fashion you’ve never heard before and won’t forget anytime soon.”  -Take Effect, August 9^th, 2020 https://takeeffectreviews.com/august-2020/2020/8/9/cary-morin

THE ALTERNATE ROOT – Cary Morin Dockside Saints - Virtuoso Blues guitarist Cary Morin returns for his sixth album, Dockside Saints. Recorded at the fabled New Orleans Dockside Studios, this album drips with spicy, Cajun flavors. Still present are Morin’s expressive Piedmont Blues guitar picking and his Greg Allman meets John Hiatt vocals. But the musical spices of New Orleans infuse every note with an Emeril Lagasse “Bam!” burst of flavor… At times earnest and insightful, and at times bouncy and buoyant, Dockside Saints is a spicy tribute to the birthplace of the Blues.”  -Brian Rock reviewed, August 7^th, 2020 http://www.thealternateroot.com/reviewarchives/cary-morin-dockside-saints

THE TOLEDO BLADE (Toledo, OH daily) – “Cary Morin hits the sweet spot with Dockside Saints” - “Man, I like Cary Morin. Think of a vocalist with the soul of Van Morrison, but an aficionado of fingerstyle guitar with catchy lyrics and a folksy, down-to-earth multicultural sound that isn’t politically correct but is just intriguing… This much is clear from Dockside Saints: He’s a great fit down in music-rich Louisiana if that tells you anything about his talent.” -Tom Henry, August 6^th, 2020 https://www.toledoblade.com/a-e/music-theater-dance/2020/08/06/Cary-Morin-hits-the-sweet-spot-with-Dockside-Saints/stories/20200806149

THE ROCK DOCTOR –  As a finger-style acoustic guitarist he’s untouchable.  As a songwriter, Cary Morin is deep and soulful.  Dockside Saints is an inspired mix of Zydeco, Cajun and Creole with heaps of Piedmont blues & country, wish dashes of gospel and folk- irresistible… These songs are compelling explorations of love, faith, hardship and heritage, and I would not want to me without them.” –The Rock Doctor, July 28^th, 2020 https://gonzookanagan.com/music-reviews-by-john-the-rock-doctor-july-282020/

TINNITIST – “…Dockside Saints is a spirited gumbo combining Zydeco, Cajun and Creole with generous portions of Piedmont blues and country, and dashes of gospel and folk.
