Don't let the term "solo musician" fool you; you're eyes will see one person on stage, but your ears will hear a power trio with the incorporation of a loop station and real percussion. Leroy's dynamic vocal range, guitar playing, and ability to interact with the crowd will accommodate any event/venue whether upbeat, or low key. With a large variety of covers ranging in many styles/genres ranging in: 50's, 60's, and 70's, blues, motown, funk, classic rock, country, 80's, rock alternative, rock n' roll, and modern pop. If the song you want to hear is not in the catalogue, that doesn't mean Leroy can't play it and is always ready to take requests. You can also request a specific song(s) before the event and Leroy will be sure to learn them beforehand. A duo and full 7 piece band experience can also be provided upon request.
