About Me |
|
Ledbetter hails from Muscle Shoals, AL and the surrounding scene displaying a sound, show and presence that cannot be ignored. The music mainly derives from the pen of Michael Ledbetter himself with lyrics that recall childhood and past experiences. Ledbetter features the jazz influenced trumpet playing and ivory-tickling of Zach Gooch with the tight, powerful drumming of Jason Randolph, complemented by the chunky sound of Steve Chandler on lead guitar and the groove supplied by Zach Thomas on bass. An eclectic range of musical styles with identifiable and honest songwriting, leave audiences singing along and dancing to the songs that become part of their lives.
