Loop Music & Art Festival @theloopfest was a ton of fun. A frozen “Loop Fest Latte” from Bird and Bean Coffee @birdandbeancoffee House after a delicious Greek Salad from Greek Street Dothan @greekstreetdothan1 was a must. Lots of amazing local art to browse while listening to a great live bands. Come out and enjoy next year! (This is a free event) #visitdothan #loopfest #artfestival #downtowndothan #LoveDothan
Are you as excited about Day 2 of the Loop Festival as Mr. Larry is right now? 🕺☀️
It’s a beautiful morning in downtown Dothan and we’re kicking off a full day of music, art, food, and fun at The Park at Porter Park.
If Mr. Larry’s dancing doesn’t get you moving, we’re not sure what will.
Come hang out with us today and enjoy everything the Loop Festival has going on.
Check out Loop Festival social media for the full schedule and all the event information. @theloopfest@art_in_public_places

Headling Saturday 5:30 at @theloopfest ! When @lamontlandersofficial steps up to the microphone, he doesn’t just sing—he commands the room. His songs are filled with raw, undeniable truth, shaped by a quiet rise from small-town Alabama to the spotlight—on his own terms. With a powerhouse voice that soars sky-high, he pours every ounce of himself into each note, channeling pain, passion, and poetry through waves of booming soul, electrifying rock ‘n’ roll, and smoldering R&B.
Hailing from Decatur, AL, music shaped his earliest memories. A natural-born performer, Lamont first picked up a guitar as a teenager. His breakout came with a viral cover of Ray Charles’ “Hit The Road Jack”—racking up over half a million views overnight. From there, his rise was swift: electrifying audiences on America’s Got Talent and Showtime at the Apollo while amassing a loyal following of over half a million fans on TikTok. A repost of his cover of “Rubber Band Man” by Questlove caught the attention of GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Dave Cobb, leading to an invitation to record in Savannah, GA—and ultimately, a deal with Cobb’s Republic Records imprint, Lucile.
With millions of streams on original tracks like “Love and Happiness,” “Piece of Me,” and “Into The Fold,” Lamont is ready to officially introduce himself with new music in 2025.
