The Seaside Music Festival presents Leeroy Stagger and Porch Couch

Event Description

Leeroy Stagger
An alternative country singer/songwriter hailing from Lethbridge, AB, Leeroy Stagger pens songs dealing with life's challenges and questions that are literate but down to earth. After 11 albums, two EPs and 17 years as a singer-songwriter, Leeroy Stagger has been cementing his reputation as one of Canada's leading figures in the Americana genre. An award winning artist including top prize at the Alberta Peak Performance Project, Stagger's sound has been described as a little Steve Earle, a little John Prine, a little Bruce Springsteen and a whole lot of heart and soul.


Porch Couch (Jaron Freeman-Fox & Alan Mackie)
There's something special about Fiddle and Banjo. Before Guitars, Mandolins, Dobros and String Basses made their way into the Appalachian traditions, Fiddle and Banjo carved out the core of what would become one of the most beloved traditions in American history. When this rich legacy is tapped into by two musicians of the caliber of Jaron Freeman-Fox and Alan Mackie, the full potential of this enduring beauty is undeniable. Each with a long list of recording credits and always in high demand for their stage work, Jaron and Alan have been playing together for over a decade. Their musical chemistry as much as their virtuosity make Porch Couch one of those duets that remind everyone why there's something special about Fiddle and Banjo.
