NBC’s “The Voice - Season 16” finalist and Nashville Recording artist Gyth Rigdon will be presented in concert on the Logansport riverfront, on October 12, 2019 during the 3rd Annual Northwest Louisiana Gumbo Cook-off & Festival, “The Battle for the Paddle”.

Gyth Rigdon has quickly found fame after being Runner-Up on Season 16 of NBC’s The Voice, but he has been sharing his mix of Country, Rock, and Soul through his albums, radio, and his high energy shows for years. He has shared the stage with major stars such as Blake Shelton, Gary Allan, Darius Rucker, Alabama, and many more. You can follow Gyth on his 2019 “When I’m Gone” Tour.

Rigdon will be followed on stage by DeSoto parish’s own regional favorites Lucas Jagneaux & The Roadshow (formally known as After Hours). Lucas was the recent winner of the 2019 TMP Songwriter’s Contest.
