ROLAND, Okla. (March 11, 2026) — Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland will welcome country music royalty singer-songwriter Ned LeDoux at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Lee Creek Tavern inside the casino.

Ned LeDoux, son of country legend Chris LeDoux, has built a career that honors his heritage while forging his own distinctive path in country music. Though he began releasing solo music in 2017, LeDoux has been a touring musician since his teenage years, developing a sound rooted in authenticity, grit and heartfelt storytelling.

His debut album, “Sagebrush,” introduced fans to his rock-tinged country style, highlighted by his approachable delivery and knack for memorable lyrics. In 2019, “Next in Line” proved prophetic, expanding his audience and solidifying his place in modern country music. With 2022’s “Buckskin,” LeDoux infused his music with the renegade spirit of 1970s outlaw country, drawing inspiration from his experiences as a ranch hand and lifelong cowboy.

LeDoux’s latest album, “Safe Haven,” is his most personal project to date. Written in the wake of the tragic loss of his daughter, the record channels grief into hope, celebration and faith. The album includes a moving tribute to his late father, “One Hand in the Riggin’,” which features Ned performing alongside a vocal track his father recorded two decades ago. The result is a powerful blending of legacy and new beginnings.

The show is free to those 21 and older.
