Leeroy Stagger is a Canadian roots rocker inspired as much by John Prine and Nick Drake as he is Tom Petty and Joe Strummer. For the past twenty years, he has been touring North America and Europe, making records and gaining a strong and dedicated following.
Known for his powerful live performances and compared to the likes of Jason Isbell and Steve Earle, Stagger moves effortlessly between raucous anthems and intimate ballads. Whether he's telling stories from the back of a beat-up car or under Alberta’s wide-open skies, his music hits hard and lingers long after the final chord.
His music is written through the lens of a spiritual path through addiction and recovery; he cuts a trail through the human condition in only a way that a veteran observational traveller and artist can. He is just as at home in a cafe with an audience of 50 as he is on a festival stage with an audience of 10,000.
Leeroy was signed to the Canadian Label True North Records (Bruce Cockburn, Blackie and The Rodeo Kings) as well as industry mogul Danny Goldberg’s (Nirvana, Steve Earle, The Cranberries) Gold Lake Records. He has supported and toured with Steve Earle, Josh Ritter, Buffy Sainte Marie, Frazey Ford, The Pixies, Modest Mouse, Los Lobos, The Drive-By Truckers, Jason Isbell, and more.
These days Leeroy is raising kids and producing records in his studio, Neighbourhood Recorders. He is also the host of the weekly Dirty Windshields Radio hour on CKUA radio.
