About Me |

Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net Miss Leslie and Her Juke-Jointers play honky tonk country music with a 50s and 60s flair. Miss Leslie sings a gutsy, belting lead that has been compared to the likes of Patsy Cline, Leona Williams and Connie Smith. This group is creating buzz with their music they describe as Country music with a hardwood floor sound. Combining some original material along with obscure country tunes that they have unearthed from the 50s and 60s, the band opens up new sounds in a retro honky-tonk setting. While Miss Leslie & Her Juke-Jointers are a relatively new group on the scene, the band has played professionally with nationally touring acts. Ricky played for many years with Gary P Nunn and Dale Watson and is the steel player on most of Dale Watson's recordings. Ricky has also played with many Texas artists such as: Tommy Alverson; Davin James; Larry Joe Taylor; The Derailers and Asleep at the Wheel and TV and radio commercials and movies such as www.monster.com, Bud Light, Kodak, Lonestar, Texas Lotto, "A Scanner Darkly" and many more. Ric Ramirez played for many years with Two Tons of Steel and Wayne "the Train" Hancock. Miss Leslie & Her Juke-Jointers were nominated for Houston Press Music Awards in 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2005, they were nominated for Best Original Band in the Houston Chronicles Ultimate Houston Awards. The band was also a top music pick in 2005 and 2006 for the Houston Chronicles Handstamp Blog. And Honky Tonk Revival was voted Best Debut Album of 2005 by the FAR Charts, FAR and Away picks. And THANKS to Angela Duckworth for the cool MySpace Layout . . . . |
