Imagine the underbelly of Cornwall, sleepy manana lifestyle and the undercurrent of inner city gutsy, ”right here, right now” driven tension and you will find Lead Cherry contained somewhere in between the two…with the laid back, loose and occasionally improvised interpretation of their songs in their live performances that converge a gritty, seedy punk blues rock complete with wailing guitar solos and feisty drumming…its no wonder you can hear the diverse influences that Jon Hodge-Guitar / Vocals, Martin Williams – Bass / Backing Vocals and Roger Luxton – Drums / Percussion bring to the band, from Led Zeppelin, The Who, The White Stripes and lesser known 22 20s, Soledad Brothers and Seasick Steve, you can see how the band merge into the melting pot that is indeed the Lead Cherry sound!
An aural tsunami of classic riffs from the guitars and bass of Jon Hodge and Martin Williams, (respectively), and a relentless drummer in the shape of Roger Luxton mean that Lead Cherry are due for a massive future.
Their original songs showcase guitar work that harks back to Hendrix, Zep and Free with vocals from the school of Kravitz and its a blessing to hear such quality vocal harmonies mixed with powerful playing like this, (special mention must go to Mr. Luxton though for a performance second only to the great Bonzo himself - absolutely stunning especially on the one cover in the set, a rare Zep track).
The classic rock power trio is reborn - Long live The Cherry!

Thanks for the comment . We really like your music. You should check out our friends The Way Downs they have a very similiar sound to yours I think you'll dig.
I hear it's Roger's last gig on Thursday- have a blast of a night!! Glad I got to see you play & I hope you get a new drummer sorted. Maybe Martin'll wish for a new one when he blows out his birthday candles. Adoring Freya's rose and anchor bag!
