The man behind the sound
Rooted in Louisiana. Built for the stage.
Bayou Purple is the sound of South Louisiana after dark—electric guitar, deep-water atmosphere, and stories carried by the road home.
From intimate rooms to festival stages, Shelton Sonnier brings a performance shaped by blues, rock, and the unmistakable character of the bayou.
