Meteor Z at Boom Boom Room
It’s a new year, and I got a new thang to throw at y’all. Meteor Z is a brand spankin’ new group of accomplished cosmic funkateers including Stratocaster master Jimmy Leslie (LunaGroove, Honey Island Swamp Band), otherworldly funky drummer Chris DeJohn (Eric Lindell), Pete “P Bass” Canton (Hey Hey Mama) on balls deep bass, freak daddy Jordan Feinstein (the Ritual) on clever keys, and super groovy guests from all walks of the universe. Image the Meters meets Led Zeppelin remixed in the cosmos and plunging back towards Earth. Sounds like a blast, eh?

Jimmy Leslie Home for the Holiday/CD Release Celebration at The Sodbuster, Sylvania, OH

I¹m a comin home to Ohio, and bringin¹ a box full of my new CD, Surfin¹ the Swamp. I¹ve got a new way of playing funky rhythms on acoustic guitar that I¹m psyched about, and will be showcasing full-on for the first time at this gig. My buddy and partner in the old Yesterday¹s Jester and Tomorrow¹s Clown adventures, Scott Fish (the transformed reformed joker former known as Larry), will be playing the first set. We can likely expect sit-ins from Fish¹s current cohort Chris Shutters, and who knows who
else at this sure-to-be-swinging Thanksgiving weekend extravaganza.
