Leeroy Stagger is enjoying his summer with lots of shows including Whoop Up Days and making the Top 10 the PEAK Performance competition.
“It’s a lot of work, but it’s the kind of work I’m used to doing,” said Stagger, who released his tenth CD “ Dream it All Away,” earlier this year.
The first single “ Something Beautiful” is getting airplay on CKUA, community and college stations and modern rock and alternative stations including the Bridge In Lethbridge and PEAK in Calgary.
“A lot of the PEAK Performance competition is in Calgary, but the boot camp (Where participants learn the ropes of the music business s for a week.) is in Princeton, B.C.,” Stagger said.
“ The winner gets $100,000 to help them in their music careers, which would be a great help to me. I’m releasing my albums on my own. I don’t have any record label support. But at the very least it has been very inspirational being around all of these talented musicians,” he said.
“The boot camp is in Princeton, but I’ll have to come back home for a few things, then go back out west to play Vancouver. So it will be a lot of driving for me,” he said.
“ Even placing in the Top 3 would be great,” he said.
Leeroy Stagger plays Whoop-Up Days, Aug. 22 at 7:30 p.m.
