Brian Leighton of the band
gb Leighton

 

 

This Twin Cities native has been playing roots-rock four to five nights a week throughout the Midwest for the past 10 years. He's worked his way up the live ladder, from playing small clubs as a band, to solo support for national/intenational tours with The BoDeans, Joe Cocker and, most recently, Jonny Lang. Of the Minneapolis/St. Paul gig scene, Brian had this to say: "We have some of the nicest clubs to play in here. There's a lot of opportunity for bands to play good clubs with great sound systems and good crews to work with. And, audiences and fans who support the music."

gb Leighton just released their third CD, Live From Pickle Park (Moonsong Records), available for order online at: www.gbleighton.com.
