## Resource

For forty years, Chris LeBlanc has ruled the Baton Rouge music scene as a bass virtuoso, self-taught prodigy, and relentless performer—still hitting over 200 shows a year at age 60. Starting with a guitar case at age seven, he turned clubs into his stage, launched his own band in ’91 after LSU, and mastered his craft with metronomes and mentors. Now sober for six years and smoke-free nearly a year, he credits his discipline for a healthier, more vibrant life—and continues releasing original albums, proving that passion, persistence, and personal growth keep the music alive.
