From out of the depths of Birmingham, Alabama, only one rock band rises to the top and points the direction to go. That band is Leaderdog. With heavy hitting spirit and solid focus, Leaderdog commands the stage upon sight. At the front, Dave Bowman is riveting with his intense vocal range and ability to mesmerize the audience through pure energy and emotion. Above all the rest, Guitarist, Jeff Stacy is ominously amazing with his vintage Gibson Les Paul’s seductive power over any crowd throughout each soaring lead and every raucous riff. The rhythm section of this heavy hitting rock outfit is completed by Chris Allen on drums and Rob Fields on bass. These two individuals deliver tight syncopated rhythms and accuracy throughout each Leaderdog song.
Setting the pace for 2007, Leaderdog just released “Attention Please,” the bands first full length 13 track album. “Attention Please,” features the evolving writing exploration and captivating musical atmosphere of Jeff Stacy and Dave Bowman. With solid hits such as, “Lonely Wings, I Wanna Win, Change For Me, Dandelion, and Painted Picture,” this album is sure to capture the audience’s “Attention.” Stacy and Bowman orchestrated the music of this new album to reinvent the Leaderdog sound and redefine the future direction of the band. In addition, Leaderdog captured their over the top live show on DVD, entitled, “Unleashed Live!” Released spring 2005, seven cameras attempted to grasp the raw power, energy and the overall adrenaline driven live performance. Also, Leaderdog’s 7-track EP entitled “Speak” was released in 2003. “Speak” reflects the sights and sounds shaped on the road, in clubs, at concerts, and music festivals.
Highlights from the past years performances include: Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, Midwest Music Summit in Indianapolis, Indiana, City Stages Music Festival in Birmingham, Alabama, North Alabama’s Big Spring Music Jam in Huntsville, Alabama, and Mob Fest in Chicago, Illinois.
