Leeroy Stagger

It’s said the cells in your body replace themselves every decade or so. After 11 albums, two EPs and 17 years as a singer-songwriter, Leeroy Stagger wonders if the soul might work the same way. Ten years sober, with two kids, a Victoria home and recording studio he’s far removed – perhaps not even the same person – from the hard-living twenty-something who started on this musical path. Although Stagger’s sound has most often been tagged Americana, he ignores the urge to fit into a specific genre. Instead, his unadorned, well-crafted songs are an eclectic mix of electric folk, blues and Americana blended with some pop sounds and a raw punk attitude.
