Album Notes

Leather and Beer are a Rock and Blues band from Central Scotland. Consisting of Drums, Bass, Guitar, Harmonica and Vocals, the band live and breathe Rock and Blues and love performing live.

The band members have played together for many years in various incarnations but this latest collaboration feels like the real deal. The band is excited to have produced their first album after all this time.

Guitarist, Callum Chapman says: "all music is derivative. If it isn't, chances are it isn't that good. All the great stuff has been done already. We just want to show that we have taken the great stuff and made it our own!”

Bass player, Duncan and Guitarist, Callum grew up together in a small village called Pumpherston, they have been playing music and causing havoc together for longer than either of them care to mention.

Duncan says: “I like the way the rhythm section just seem to blend together like peas and carrots or leather and beer. In fact the whole band work together really well.I'm probably biased but I think we are a force to be reckoned with." Denis, the drummer, is the newest edition to the band and he has really motivated the band. He is a powerhouse as well as being very accurate.

Perhaps the most unusual thing about Leather and Beer is the fact that the lead vocals are produced by Annette Chapman, not only a female but a classically trained singer who still sings in that genre as well as producing some impressive Rock and Blues vocals with the band.

Leather and Beer is essentially a live band. Their debut album captures some of the enthusiasm and energy that they generate on stage. This album will make you laugh, cry and jump up and down!
