The band

Built in Louisiana. Loud enough to get remembered.

Vidalia started with Ronnie Calhoun, Matt Tortorich, and Charlie Hugg — a group of friends building songs out of Louisiana country, southern rock, Americana, and red-dirt influence. Ronnie and Matt wrote the songs, Matt produced the recordings, and Charlie carried the early sound as lead singer.

After Charlie left, David St. Romain stepped in as Vidalia’s singer, pushing the band into its next chapter while keeping the rough-edged, hook-forward Louisiana identity intact.

225 Magazine named Vidalia one of its People to Watch 2017, noting that “Louisianne” played inside Tiger Stadium before home games and that the band’s records charted on iTunes Country.
