As part of what will soon be known as the Northeast Louisiana Music Trail, on January 29th of 2022, a landmark sign honoring Fred Carter, Jr. will be unveiled and dedicated to honor him in Winnsboro, LA. Fred Carter, Jr., is a native son of Winnsboro and was a singer-songwriter, producer, record label owner, and perhaps the best-known session player of all time, a true country and rock and roll pioneer! Fred worked with the Louisiana Hayride, The Band, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Dean Martin, Simon and Garfunkel, Dolly Parton, his daughter Deana Carter, Bobby Bridger and a thousand others. A tribute that evening at the Princess Theatre will feature Fred’s daughter, country music star Deana Carter, and friends in concert.
