Leadbeaters

String band that is actually way too rock 'n' roll for a folky outfit

With a folky-punky mixed grill of American traditionals, old-time, rhythm & blues, bluegrass, Cajun and gospel, the company brings a musical obedience to the hopeless, the slackers, the poor, the runaways and the misfits. In a rowdy fashion.

Fantastic unpredictable party

The Leados basically create this with fiddle, guitar, mandolin, double bass and somewhat coordinated singing, but the heart and stage are big enough for passionate musical brothers and sisters. Because banjo, slide GT, spoons, harp and washboard are certainly also included. Like-minded musicians are regularly invited to pick, pick and saw. And so every performance becomes a fantastically unpredictable party, where throats are rinsed, hands are clapped, feet are stomped and lead is beaten.

They have already performed at several festivals. Last year, Paaspop and Rotterdam Bluegrass. This year again at Zwarte Cross and Madnes. In recent years, Lowlands, Welcome To The Village, Parade etc. And of course don't forget the regular clubs such as Melkweg, Paradiso, Vera, Tivoli, Paard and Patronaat.
