Voodoo Bayou was born in the heart of south Louisiana. The bayou rhythms and Southern spirit shaped its storytellers, dreamers, and its musicians. The Band formed in 2010 around singer\/songwriter and guitarist Kyle Domangue<\/em>, guitarist Michael Klaus<\/em>, bassist Jody Naquin<\/em>, along with a circle of collaborating artists. Their goal: craft original, Indie, Southern roots rock that honors its heritage while forging a sound all their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
The band’s journey began with writing and recording their debut album, Southern Style<\/em><\/a>. The project led them to the legendary Studio in the Country located in Bogalusa, Louisiana, a room that has hosted icons like Kansas, Stevie Wonder<\/em>, and The Neville Brothers<\/em>.\u00a0 These sessions shaped the band\u2019s creative identity, and Southern Style<\/em><\/a>\u00a0was released in 2013, marking the Band\u2019s purpose and voice.<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

In late 2013, professional drummer\/percussionist, Sam LeCompte joined the Band.\u00a0 Sam\u2019s arrival brought fresh energy and helped rebuild a foundational groove that the Band still relies on today.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Voodoo Bayou has been joined by talented friends and musicians including, Mark Duet (keyboardist for Keith Whitley and Louisiana\u2019s \u201cRockin\u2019 Fiddler\u201d Waylon Thibodeaux<\/em>), Rod Roddy (keyboardist for LeRoux and Levee Band<\/em>), and Randy Carpenter (drummer for LeRoux, Jo\u2019El Sonnier, <\/em>and Clarence \u201cGatemouth\u201d Brown<\/em>).<\/p>\n

In 2022, the band welcomed keyboardist Billy \u201cWild Bill\u201d Stark as the fifth permanent member.\u00a0 Billy\u2019s 50+ years of performing brings energy, intensity, and a fresh dimension to the Band.<\/p>\n

\u201cSOUTHERN STYLE<\/a><\/em>\u201c opened doors to stages that welcomed original music. VOODOO BAYOU has shared the stage with national artists like Restless Heart, Eddie Money<\/em>, and Phil Vassar<\/em>.\u00a0 The Band\u2019s members have also opened for acts such as The Doobie Brothers, Gin Blossoms, LeRoux, Zebra, The Cowsills<\/em>, and Anders Osborne<\/em>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1710029080633{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1710370349105{padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2458″ img_size=”300×200″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1777260070312{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1675″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1710031045648{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Most recently, she has taken up bass guitar to enhance her rhythm skills and become a more well-rounded multi-instrumentalist, ready to shine at upcoming music events.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of 2025, Elliott fully immersed herself in her music career. In April 2025, her song \u201cFell in Love Too Fast\u201c won first place at the University of North Alabama\u2019s songwriter competition.

Caleb & John are proving that joy and hope belong at the center of Christian music. With a #1 Christian Radio hit under their belt (Somebody Like Me), this high-energy duo is keeping their foot on the gas with their newest single, Finished \u2014 an upbeat, anthemic reminder that no matter what life looks like, God isn\u2019t done yet.<\/p>\n

The duo came to music through totally different paths. Caleb, a pastor\u2019s kid and classically trained musician, grew up on Christian radio. John, one of six kids and the only boy, taught himself guitar and piano through YouTube videos and leaned toward a gritty, rootsy sound. While touring and playing for artists like Sam Hunt, CAIN, Katy Nichole, and Anne Wilson, the two were introduced by a mutual friend. What started as a casual jam session quickly turned into something deeper \u2014 a creative connection that brought out the best in both of them.<\/p>\n

Their blend of Caleb\u2019s pop sensibilities and John\u2019s raw edge has given them a signature sound: joyful, bold, and soaked in truth. Hallelujah Feeling, their debut single, hit #3 on the charts and introduced fans to their vibrant style. But it was Somebody Like Me \u2014 a heartfelt anthem featuring CAIN \u2014 that struck a deeper chord, landing them their first #1 on Christian radio and opening doors to a rapidly growing fanbase.<\/p>\n

Two different backgrounds. One unified message. Caleb & John are just getting started \u2014 and the joy is contagious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
