About Me

Label in 1965. He found himself working the San Francisco Haight Ashbury Free Clinic during the height of the hippie age, then became a "rolling stone", traveling across the country to South Padre, Key West, and finally returning to his true home, New Orleans.He joined with Orleans Records in 1994 and released the highly acclaimed "Spiritland". In 1998, "Louisiana Medicine Man" was awarded 'Best Blues Album by a Louisiana Artist' by Offbeat Magazine. "Hoodoo Party" followed in 2000. His latest release 'Yeah, U Rite!' is self-produced through Coco's own label, Spiritland Records.Coco Robicheaux has played every New Orleans French Quarter Festival since 1995, and faithfully delivered his mojo soul for ten consecutive years at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.In addition to his New Orleans gigs, Coco has performed in California, Colorado, Texas, Florida, New York, South Carolina, Australia, Germany and at the Montreal and Nice Jazz Festivals.Mr. Robicheaux has performed with legends like Johnnie Cash, Gatemouth Brown, Dr. John, John Lee Hooker, Herbie Hancock, James Brown, Keb Mo, Willie DeVille, Mighty Sam McClain, the subdudes, and just about every New Orleans' musician.
