Be it his words, song, or humanitarian works, David John Legg, aka “Brother Dege”, has touched innumerable lives both here in Lafayette and throughout the world.

Without question, his multi-faceted creative essence deserves to be honored in his hometown, so a group of close friends are aiming to help immortalize his legacy. The first step in keeping the spirit, love, and light of Dege alive, is to create his very own
memorial mural in downtown Lafayette.

With your community support, we can raise the funds to make this vision come true.

The current vision/concept: A 60's era Fillmore West show poster combined with an Old West styled “wanted man” poster. A unique amalgam of Dege’s early Santeria / Black Bayou Contrukt psychedelic rock n’ roll imagery with his later outlaw “Brother Dege” persona.
