At first glance, there’s something nostalgic, yet mysterious, classic, yet edgy about country music newcomer Allen Duhon. He’s the “boy
next door,” with a bad boy appeal under his dark black hat, who’s aura makes the gals swoon and the guys offer to buy him a beer!
A boy from Beaumont, twenty-two year-old Allen Duhon was born and bred in Texas—in the same neck of the woods as Tracy Byrd and
Mark Chesnutt. “I tell people I was ‘born’ into country music. Texas doesn’t get any more country and western and that’s exactly what I
am.”
A self-taught guitarist who also plays drums and keyboards, Allen’s musical motivation was supported by his parents, first and foremost.
“I’m so blessed to say ‘my parents are my best friends.’ They’ve shown me deep love, offered me sound guidance in all things, and their
own love for country music was passed down to me as if they were handing me their torch to carry.”
The first country music artist that sealed the deal for Allen to become a full-blown country fan was none other than Garth Brooks. “I was
only three years old and I saw Garth in concert at Hersh Coliseum in Shreveport, LA. From that day on I sang ‘Friends in Low Places’ like a
broken record that played over and over. I sang it over and over a cappella for my preschool teachers and my sister’s drill squad who asked
me time and time again to do it. I loved the attention!”
As a teenager, Allen gravitated toward the traditional sounds of George Strait, Dwight Yoakum, Ronnie Milsap, Merle Haggard and Waylon
Jennings, the songwriting of Steve Wariner and Keith Whitley, and Garth’s showmanship. “George Strait is just the total package—he’s
remained true to himself and has never strayed. Dwight has a signature style that makes him a trademark artist; he has certain ‘senseability’
that connects him with his audience, and Steve Wariner…he does it all as a songwriter and musician.”
Allen’s dad is also a musician. He was a drummer who played in bands all through Allen’s childhood. At 11, Allen’s father bought him his
first set of drums. Young Allen used to tag along with his dad to attend his shows and would bring his drum sticks—practicing the rat-tattat-
tat beat of the drum on the dashboard while they traveled to-and-fro. Allen made his performing debut sitting in with his dad’s band
when he was 14. That impromptu performance resulted in a permanent seat behind the band playing five nights a week--all the while still in
high school.
That experience transitioned into a full-time endeavor. By the age of 18, Allen was playing venues in Texas and Louisiana and everywhere in
between which enabled him invaluable road and performing experience far beyond his years having opened for artists Billy Currington, Craig
Morgan, Kevin Fowler, John Anderson and many more. Two years into college, Allen secured a gig with his dad’s old band; he played five
nights a week with the band Ridin’ High for more than a year and that’s when Allen answered the calling to head to Music City, Tennessee.
Just like the movies or the autobiographies of country music legends, Allen packed his bags and headed to Nashville when he was 21.
Similar to the paths of some of American music’s greatest talents, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Roger Miller, Allen became a regular
at the World Famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge where he played six nights a week. “In Nashville, every night’s a Saturday night!” As he
rubbed elbows with artists who frequented the joint establishing a kinship with the likes of Tracy Byrd, Darryl Worley, Chris Young, Sheryl
Crow, Kid Rock, and even Pop diva, Cher, his music resounded through the walls and echoed in the alleys of downtown Nashville—making
him an “artist in demand” nearly overnight. Allen has since played most of the Broadway honky tonks including Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge,
Legends, Second Fiddle, The Stage, and the Music Row hot spot, Loser’s. After seeing one of his performances, Laney Lawrence, of The
Artists Group management, signed Allen to their roster (joining country music superstar Tracy Lawrence).
Allen’s music resonates from the Texas juke joints and the underlying fiber that made traditional country music great; he rounds it out with
his witty and refreshing energy and when it’s all summed and tolled it reveals Allen Duhon’s star power.
Wide-eyed, passionate and driven, Allen Duhon is an artist who knows exactly who he is and where he wants to be. “I will always be me,
musically, no matter what else is going on in the format. I know what I’m capable of and when any listener hears my music or sees me play,
they’ll say, ‘now that’s country’!”
Like any good movie or famed autobiography, “Allen Duhon” will no doubt play his role in country music history—starting today on stages
everywhere!
