King Leo brings the album tour and full band to Wellington's Meow for an evening of live Blues and the lush sounds of Tusekah and Louis TM. Doors 6:30pm, music at 7pm.King Leo LaDell is one of Aotearoa’s best kept musical secrets. Born in Norfolk Virginia, Leo LaDell has shared the stage with legends such as Pinetop Perkins and Bo Diddley. With this record Leo brings his own powerful and dignified presence to a blend of traditional blues idioms.
From the Radio NZ review of King Leo’s previous LP Revival:
“LaDell’s songs are heartfelt and personal, and while secular, sometimes employ religious metaphors to carry a general message of being kind to others, and grateful for small mercies. King Leo’s Revival is a lovely album, which I’d recommend to anyone with a taste for blues of almost any kind. And it’s on vinyl as well as CD, and the vinyl sounds – feels and looks – particularly good.”
From NZ Musician about the band:
“Firing on all cylinders they sound like true survivors of the Chess Records’ era, stripped back they sound like the perfect Muscle Shoals’ session band.”
From roots music journal No Depression:
“If the audience is a soulful bunch of fish then King Leo has hooked them by now and they’re in the boat. Blues enthusiasts won’t be able to turn away from this tasty presentation. It’s all done with expertise and no flash – nothing over worked or top heavy. The entire performance is balanced and these musicians from New Zealand are formidable.”
Louis TM:
After years backing many artists on the keys, Louis TM is now out to make his own mark on the musical landscape. Inspired by modern soul revival, classic soul canon, R&B, funk and indie sounds, Louis TM brings his unique style of soul from Aotearoa to the world.
