New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Bend, Oregon-based Hard Rock Trio Leadbetter Band showcase a powerful chemistry rooted in heavy rock n' roll, blues, psychedelic and progressive rock influences on new album "Howl", out now on major platforms. They don't just take influence from the greats though. Leadbetter Band recently opened for
ZZ Top at Britt Amphitheater, Jacksonville, Oregon in August 2021. Lead vocalist/guitarist and songwriter Eric Leadbetter plays hundreds of shows annually, and was recognized as winner of the prestigious
Moony Award for Central Oregon Best Solo Artist (2020).
About the album: "Howl" is a collection of some of Eric Leadbetter's favorite original songs. They cover the map of the music that inspires him, from the hard hitting hard rock songs like "Waterdogs" and "Middle Man" to the more sensational "time waits" and "find your love again", no ground is left uncovered.
"The depth of the music is always important to me, having songs that challenge or comfort the mind and inspire the heart is what I strive for. Howl definitely delivers that."
Leadbetter Band's amplified grooves and southern-tinged classic sound throughout "Howl" should appeal to fans of Govt Mule,
Black Crowes, Joe Bonamassa,
Robin Trower,
Bad Company or Stone Temple Pilots.
"Howl" is out now on major streaming platforms as well as Bandcamp.
Leadbetter Band was born after the final closing chapters of Jive Coulis in the early winter of 2017. In a sense it was a "re-branding" of Jive Coulis. Eric was the songwriter and frontman for Jive, and that is still the case with Leadbetter Band. His original songs played in LB are vast and diverse, from a classic rock sound to bluesy heavy jam sections featuring the Bands unique improv abilities.
The rhythm section is pro and tight featuring
Aaron Moore on Bass and vocals, and Kaleb Kelleher on Drum set. They focus mainly on original music, but the cover song choices are also all over the map of rock history. The first album, self titled, was released in 2019. Off the album are hard rock favorites like "Grand misconception" and bluesy "challenge me".
The second full length album, "howl" was just released in 2021. Both albums had Patrick Pearsall on bass and Dylan bernal on drums.
They just opened for the legendary
ZZ Top at the Britt amphitheater in August 2021 which was an amazing experience!
The band is based out of Bend, OR and plays shows around the pacific northwest entertaining and captivating music hungry listeners. Leadbetter Band delivers a stunning and engaging live performance that is not to be missed.
