Brother Dege, also known as Dege Legg, is a slide guitarist, singer-songwriter, and artist hailing from the heart of Louisiana's Cajun country. He is a true maverick in the American roots music scene, blending Delta blues, folk, and rock with an authenticity that can only come from someone raised amidst the unique cultural landscape of the Deep South. Known for his atmospheric slide guitar work and soulful vocals, he gained widespread recognition when Quentin Tarantino included his track "Too Old to Die Young" from the album "Folk Songs of the American Longhair" on the soundtrack for the film "Django Unchained."

Brother Dege has continued to captivate audiences and critics alike with his evocative storytelling and passionate performances. His discography showcases a commitment to the tradition of Southern music while pushing its boundaries. Recent releases like "Country Come to Paris" and "Farmer's Almanac" offer a testament to his growth and exploration as a musician, further solidifying his position as an innovative force in contemporary Americana. With songs like "The Moon & the Scarecrow" and "Bastard's Blues," Brother Dege creates a soundscape that is both haunting and invigorating, a signature sound that has become a staple in the underground music scene and beyond.
