Background/ Composition: This talented troubadour is Canada's answer to Ryan Adams. He also recalls the likes of Jesse Mallin and Steve Earle, but with his own brand of punk and folk-rock. He fronted a tight outfit dubbed the Wildflowers. Grade: 88 Comment: Stagger and Easton (who play together as part of the folk trio Easton, Stagger, Phillips...

Leeroy Stagger — Everything Is Real

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) April 30, 2009 1:04 pm
Leeroy Stagger looks like there should be a movie made about him. He's got that rugged British Columbia vibe, reiterated in the album art of his fourth disc, Everything Is Real. He looks like a man with secrets, like he's been travelling for months and hasn't had time to shower or shave. It's the stories behind these images that are put to...

Leeroy Stagger — Depression River

in

Leeroy Stagger is like Canada's very own Steve Earle, only younger, fresher and lacking a criminal record (that we know of, anyway). He's a bit ornery and can simultaneously sneer in contempt while tugging at the heartstrings. Depression River is an impressive new feather in Stagger's cap. It's wrought with melodies reminiscent of Ryan Adams or Ox...

Leeroy Stagger — Beautiful House

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) February 22, 2005 3:27 pm
There’s something incredibly fascinating about the invisible thread that connects punk rock with country rock. Leeroy Stagger is following in the footsteps of West Coast punkers before him who have picked up their acoustic guitars and explored the gentler side of hurtin’. Produced by Danny Michel and engineered by Tolan McNeil (Carolyn Mark, Neko...

That relationship eventually forced him to choose between having a music career or wasting away with liquor. While musicians have been known to battle...

This week's column is loosely centred around the most interesting Victoria bands. For once, I'm not talking about Hot Hot Heat. There's plenty of other action going on in our fair capital city. Let's get this party started. Before holing up in the studio to record a follow-up to his last album, Beautiful House, Vancouver's own hard-tourin' and...
