   About Leechboy
Blue Comet Cafe - Billy Patrick


Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace

LEECHBOY is a singer-songwriter/ one man band from the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania. Writing for recording artists, appearing on various radio and television programs, having a documentary filmed about his life and music, electrifying fans and followers of his music up to a back-breaking 7 nights a week, selling thousands of Cd's, LEECHBOY is a consumate showman. One man bands are usually novelty acts, but LEECHBOY is not the typical one man band. LB's Pop/ Rock/ Country /New Wave/ and Jam Band influences culminate to make an entertaining and diverse show. Always acoustic based, he is still able to make a full band sound without using cheezy pre-programmed backing tracks. By using a looping pedal, he records and layers guitar and vocal tracks live, to make it appear to be a 15 piece band with back-up singers, or just one man and a guitar. This enables him to control his volume to accomidate the small coffee house, or large club. The rapid guitar lines make his live performances nothing short of dazzling. LEECHBOYs' live stage set-up includes: acoustic guitar, percussion instruments, and harmonica, which you can hear simultainously. He also performs with one of the finest percussionists in the country- (BOSS). As a duo, they together bring the live show to an entirely different level. With a large catalogue of original songs, and thousands of covers in his repertoire, including songs by anyone from Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, Beatles, Goo Goo Dolls, Grateful Dead, Phish, Pearl Jam, Toby Keith, Dave Matthews, Violent Femmes, Coldplay, U2, Etc. just to name a few, LEECHBOY has become a good draw in bars, clubs, and colleges everywhere. So find out why everyone, of every age shouts out for L-E-E-C-H-B-O-Y OneWord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I send you this wish…

I wish you joy beyond compare,
success in all you do.

I wish your goals within your reach,
friendships true and strong.

I wish you gracious wisdom and forgiveness,
when you're wrong.

I wish you nights of wonderous rest.
I wish you strength and courage, and
persistence to be your best.

And most of all, I wish for you more love than most will find, the grandest love in all the world, the everlasting kind!

Wishing you blessings and love for you and your loved ones
today and always!
Rachael
