Dustan Louque grew up in Grand Pointe, Louisiana along the banks of the Mississippi River. The small town backdrop of tobacco fields, factories and little league parks of his youth contributed to his desire to connect the past and the present. His college years in Mississippi led him to his love of classical piano music and a growing love for writing and singing. Louque moved to New York in the late ’90s and recorded his first record “So Long.” A label took notice and swiftly signed the budding artist. His life in New York left a stamp on his sound that remains still. Eventually his relationship with the label dwindled, a post 9/11 New York weighed heavy and he found himself back at home in the city of New Orleans for about 15 years. Today, when he is not touring the country in his 1987 VW Westfalia, he can be found in his home in Lafayette, Louisiana.
