New Orleans Beau, Lead Vocalist (Robert LeBeau Jr.) was born on March 4, 1967 and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, the oldest of three sons. BEAU'S talent was inherited and root founded by his grandfather Alvin Thomas and mother Lucy LeBeau, both long time professional singers who passed on the "Mardi Gras of flavors" in singing to BEAU during his childhood days. Beginning at the age of five BEAU was exposed to talent shows, city competitions, back yard galas and of course, those family and friends singing spin offs on the front porch, singing the blues and harmonizing on the good times. Those good old fashioned hometown memories will always play a part in BEAU'S performances.
Most artists find other renowned artists to be their inspiration to music; but during BEAU'S four years in music class at Walter L. Cohen High School in New Orleans he found his inspiration. "After hearing my vocal teacher Ms. Barbara Murray sing she became such a big inspiration and mentor to me." While digging deeper, BEAU acknowledges R&B legend Luther Vandross also as being an inspiration to him.
Throughout BEAU'S national and international touring schedule he has performed with numerous entertainers and legends, most notably: The Chi-Lites, The Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas, Charmaine Neville, Melba Moore, Aaron Neville, Denise LaSalle, Bobby Rush, The Whispers, Willie Clayton, Little Milton and Buddy Guy. BEAU has also performed at many venues including: New Orleans House of Blues, The National Black Expo, New Orleans Jazz Fest, numerous clubs on the legendary Bourbon Street, Illinois Governor George Ryan's Inaugural Ball, and Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White's Inaugural Reception. BEAU has also made guest appearances on the Angela Hill Show and WGN Channel 9 Sound Stage.
BEAU'S talent goes beyond singing the Blues, R&B, Jazz, Gospel, Pop, and even Opera. He is also an accomplished bass guitarist and drummer. BEAU is a registered songwriter and producer to most of his music. BEAU is currently working on his sophomore blues album coming to you soon. You can get a preview of his original hits during his shows. You're going to love it.
Beau's performance on stage is like eating GUMBO; it contains a mixture of ingredients in it like Louie Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, BB King, Marvin Gaye and much more. The ingredients are STEWED into one person and comes out "Spicy" and "Hot"... BEAU will season his shows the way you want it for any occasion.
When you hear BEAU utter his favorite phrase "My Medication Is Kicken In," it's like turning up the FIRE... the show is going to get HOTTER!
Seeing BEAU and his band performing is an exhibition of precision and an explosion of energy. It's unlike anything you will ever see on stage, it's incredible! An all time performance and dramatic show! You will be back for MORE.
"Have a Blessed and Prosperous Day!!!!"
