Concert Series: Dustin Dale Gaspard
2027-02-18 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Chicago)
Singer-songwriter Dustin Dale Gaspard extends the boundaries of Louisiana music. In 2025, Gaspard became the first ever artist to perform in Cajun French on The Voice, receiving a full four chair turn from the coaches.
Known for his blend of folk, soul, and Americana influences, he often writes introspective lyrics that explore themes of love, life experiences, and personal growth. Gaspard has garnered attention for his heartfelt performances and distinctive sound, resonating with audiences who appreciate authentic storytelling in music.
After 10 years of performing, Gaspard released his full-length debut album Hoping Heaven Got A Kitchen in 2022. Gaspard’s latest project Avec Le Courant is a banjo driven bilingual story album detailing the journey of his Acadian ancestors and their exile. This all new original work will once again combine Americana with varying genres including traditional folk, blues and contemporary songwriter elements, while heavily utilizing the Cajun French language.
