New Orleans Americana five-piece The Deslondes have officially signed with Dynamic Talent International for representation, with agent Lee Huber leading the relationship.
The band continues their longstanding European booking partnership with Sedate Bookings, management with Mike Vanata, and publicity through New West Records.
The signing comes at a strong moment for The Deslondes. Their 2024 album Roll It Out landed on Stereogum’s “10 Best Country Albums of 2024” list, with “Take Me Back” featured in Paste Magazine’s 100 Best Songs of 2024.
Much like The Small Fortunes’ recent signing with Roam and Riot’s deal with Corson Agency, this move reflects a broader trend of rising roots and rock acts locking in dedicated representation during career upswings.
The band also performed at the Newport Folk Festival and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2025, keeping their live profile sharp.
Now, with their upcoming covers album Don’t Let It Die Vol. 1 arriving May 22, 2026 via New West Records, the timing of this signing looks intentional, new agency support to match a new release cycle.
Takeaways

After more than a decade building credibility through relentless touring, four acclaimed studio albums, and a loyal roots music following, they’re now pairing that goodwill with dedicated industry infrastructure.
Dynamic Talent International’s aggressive signings over the past 12 months suggests the agency is building serious roster depth, and landing a band with the pedigree of The Deslondes adds real credibility to that push.
With Don’t Let It Die Vol. 1 on the horizon, expect to see the band’s booking calendar get busier and more strategic heading into the summer festival season.
Will Dynamic Talent International help The Deslondes land bigger festival slots in 2026 and beyond? Is this the signing that finally pushes The Deslondes from beloved cult act to mainstream Americana headliners?
