Fred LeBlanc

Fred LeBlanc is the lead singer/drummer for the New Orleans–based rock band Cowboy Mouth,[1] and a freelance songwriter, record producer, short story author, and acoustic performer.

Known for his "maniacal" performance style,[2] and described as "a short, muscular guy with a heavy brow and piercingly intelligent eyes", LeBlanc has been called "one of the more instantly recognizable figures in contemporary Louisiana music.

[4] The band was heavily influenced by the American roots music movement of the time, as well as the frenzied punk and rock stylings of both the Sex Pistols and Jerry Lee Lewis.

LeBlanc has written much of Cowboy Mouth's material, such as "How Do You Tell Someone", "Love Of My Life", "Disconnected", "Take Me Back To New Orleans", "Easy", "Tell The Girl", "So Sad About Me", "The Avenue", and the band's signature song, "Jenny Says".

The album featured the song "New Age Girl", which earned the band and LeBlanc a gold record in the early 1990s and was included in the Jim Carrey movie Dumb And Dumber.
