James Dupré getting national attention

I first blogged about James Dupré last July, then again in December when he announced the release date of his album. It’s out now and you can purchase it here.
Now he has been invited to appear on The Ellen Show, and plans to accept.
I don’t know the young man, I just know that he has a bucketful of talent and a voice that’s made for country music.
Congratulations and good luck to James!

We blogged about James Dupré in July. James is a young singer from Bayou Chicot in Evangeline Parish who has become well known through local appearances and from a prolific YouTube Channel.
Now James has an album coming out. He gives you some details in this video as well as a sample of his music. Keep an eye on him!

From Bayou Chicot to Nashville: James Dupré hopes to hit it big

Louisiana, and more particularly Cajun Country, is about to introduce a major player to the country music world in the person of James Dupré.

I found James on YouTube a few months ago; at one point I posted a couple of his videos on the sidebar of the blog. The native of Evangeline Parish started his YouTube channel 2 years ago this week. He has 6,619 subscribers at this point and has had 276,830 channel views.

James is in Nashville this week completing his first album.

He has a number of videos of his covers of various country stars on his YouTube channel. Check it out, I promise you will find the visit enjoyable.

Below is a video of some of his original work, a song entitled ‘Memories of Heaven’.
