Leon Everett to headline Godfest
Country music artist Leon Everette will headline entertainment at Godfest this Saturday (Oct. 18). Now touring and performing as a Country Gospel Music artist, will perform at 4 pm.
His first record to make the top ten Billboard Charts was “Over”, leading to a recording contract with RCA in 1980, which garnered Leon with 11 straight top ten records. One of those songs being “Hurricane” which peaked at #1 was so popular in Louisiana that he served as the Grand Marshall of Mardi Gras. Leon’s international success and popularity then led him to being one of the first country artists to perform in Italy and London England at Wembley Stadium. With “New Male Vocalist” of the year in 1981, and the biggest selling record of the year in 1983, “Give Me What You think Is Fair” his band was honored with Traveling Band of the year in 1983.
Leon’s strongest attribute was his high energy on stage when performing live with the energy of a “Hurricane”. In 1997, Everette came to know the Lord Jesus Christ. He has since devoted his life to the Lord and his church. He and his lovely wife Diane are mainstays in their church located in Aiken, much to the delight of those who loved his music.
he now produces in his own recording studio better known as “The Tool Shed” with several of his former musicians.
Early in 2016, Leon was invited back to Nashville by Jimmy Adams a long-standing business colleague, friend and now personal manager
