Fusing a deep-seated punk fury with a gritty country influence and pop sweetness is what Victoria’s own Leeroy Stagger does best. On his sophomore album Beautiful House - originally released in Canada on February 22, 2005 - he firmly stakes his place in the genre of powerful singer/songwriter.

PROPER DISTRIBUTION AND CANADA’S BOOMPA RECORDS TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM FROM ALT-COUTNRY ROCKER LEEROY STAGGER

Leeroy’s flying solo through BC and Alberta in May, performing acoustically alongside Lindy (Orange Records) and Alana Levandoski (Rounder Records).

June and July will see the return of The Sinking Hearts and this time, they’re heading out to Manitoba and back. Mom’s…

”(Beautiful House) is an 11-track album that charmingly blends Stagger’s country roots with (Danny) Michel’s melodic-pop convictions … Judging by the winning sound of the new disc the future looks promising for the youthful tunesmith.” - Georgia Straight
