Born in Shreveport, LA with time spent in Muscle Shoals, AL, LeBlanc has released three full-length albums including his most recent, 2016’s Cautionary Tale, which featured Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes) and was produced by John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes).

 

Of the music, NPR Music praised, “The third album from the Muscle Shoals singer-songwriter unfolds with the wariness of a social and spiritual outsider who broods his way to graceful defiance,” while No Depression

declared, “There’s not a single song that deserves to be skipped on Tale

—it’s a near flawless record, cohesive and self-assured.” 

 

Since his debut in 2010, LeBlanc has toured extensively worldwide including shows with

Bruce Springsteen, First Aid Kit, Drive-By Truckers, Lucinda Williams,

Alabama Shakes, Anderson East, The Wood Brothers and many more.

​

Dylan LeBlanc has today shared a new song, “Born Again", taken from his highly anticipated new album, Renegade, which will be released on 7th June  on ATO Records and is now available for pre-order. About the track, Dylan says: 

 

"This song came after days of feeling blocked and unable to think of anything to write about and then I had the TV on in the background

and I heard the words Born Again. And even tho that term is tied

to religious meaning I thought thats interesting and i thought about

my own experience of wanting to be different and tired of pain and

how sometimes life literally beats you into a state of submission, it

literally beats you down until you’re born again, until some sort of accordance with the universe takes place, but how everything in

your past leads you up to that point. It may happen several times

in a person’s life. So I tried to pack all that in as few words as

possible in this song".

​

Produced by Grammy Award winning Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton), the album features ten new songs and LeBlanc’s longtime band, The Pollies. Of the album LeBlanc says,

 

“I wanted to write the same type of songs that matched the atmosphere the band and I were bringing live. So, I started with ‘Renegade,’ which was fitting since I felt myself going in a new, more intense direction with this record. In the studio, I let go almost absolutely and let Dave Cobb do his work. It was a different experience for me—how focused Cobb was and how quickly we would get live takes down. Mostly in one or two takes. Never more than three. It left me spinning at how quickly it all came together. Over the course of ten days Renegade was complete and

ready for mastering. And I couldn’t be more excited to share it with

you.”

​

In celebration of the release, LeBlanc will embark on an extensive headline UK and European tour this summer, including shows at London’s Omeara, Paris’s Les Etoiles and Berlin’s Privatclub among others.See below for more info and a complete tour itinerary.
