Leftstronger is an amazing band that performs all original music in the style of Alice in Chains, Shinedown, Creed and Soundgarden. Leftstronger's music combines all the elements of great, radio-friendly rock and roll: catchy hooks, hard-driving rhythms and strong vocal harmonies. Singer/song writer, Jesse Magee uses his amazing vocal range to dramatic effect and has been said to be the best singer on the East Coast. Jesse's songs all have meaning, so they resonate with fans after only one play. Drum solos by award winning percussionist, Eric Steven. Jesse performed in front of 60,000 people for the largest Earth Day Festival in the nation at the National Mall in DC. Leftstronger has performed many times at excellent venues in the Baltimore/DC Area, including headlining Rams Head LIVE! …always with an incredible response!
Jesse, the lead singer and songwriter has accomplished all this and more despite his personal challenges of being legally blind and having cerebral palsy on his right side. His talent speaks for itself and nothing will stand in his way of his success and being a role model for others.
Leftstronger will also perform their SNAP tribute set at local venues. SNAP (Sound Garden, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam) is a Seattle/grunge specialty act that brings the best of the Seattle/grunge scene to the stage. This is the hottest tribute act to hit the streets, performing songs not typically covered by other bands due to their complexity and vocal range. All musicians are extremely dedicated to bringing guests a sound so authentic that they feel as if they are in the room with Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staly, Eddie Vedder and others! Audiences are amazed at their incredible performances! Seattle/grunge music is very popular, and no other band is able to perform all these artists mentioned above and more. They usually perform a set or two of tribute material, or they could mix the set or individual tunes into their original music act.
Leftstronger has played most of the clubs with in Baltimore. All players are in their 20's and extremely professional, dedicated and reliable. The band is awesome ...with Jesse at the helm, his amazing song writing and vocals, range and pitch-that are rarely heard in this area.
Leftstronger has just completed recording their debut full-length CD entitled "So Close," was released in early 2010. The band recorded at Sheffield Studios with engineer Jake Mossman.
