Carl Sonny Leyland
Originally from the South of England, Carl Sonny Leyland grew up with the sounds of American music from the 1930s, 40s, & 50s via his father's record collection. While initially drawn to Rock & Roll of the 1950s, his inspiration to take up piano at age 15 was the Boogie Woogie & Blues of Albert Ammons, Freddie Slack & other greats of the Swing Era. With over forty years in the business, Leyland is able to transition smoothly from early jazz to swing, country to rock & roll, incorporating elements of each into his own style.
THE DREAMBOATS Hailing from Toronto, now living in Palm Springs, as if the desert wasn't hot enough, The Dreamboats play some very upbeat, danceable Retro Rock n Roll, Beatles, Buddy Holly, Dion, Chuck Berry, Elvis and more!
CROWN CITY BOMBERS The Crown City Bombers have their roots firmly planted in rockabilly, country, and 50's and early 60's R&B - the primary influence in all of their original songs. In a relatively short period of time "CCB" has built a dedicated legion of fans in the Southern California root and rockabilly scene, tearing it up at such venues as The Derby, Blue Cafe, The Purple Orchid and Viva Las Vegas!
