Miss Leslie
and Her Juke-Jointers play country music with a 50s and
60s flair. This group describes their music 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 classic country
setting.
Leslie Lindley
sings a gutsy, belting lead that has been compared to the
likes of Patsy Cline, Leona Williams and Connie Smith. The
band’s stage show features a real upright piano, pedal
steel guitar, fiddle, small drum kit and a twangy
Telecaster reminiscent of the Don Rich sound.
While Miss
Leslie & Her Juke-Jointers are a relatively new group
on the scene, the band has played professionally with
nationally touring acts. Randy Lindley, who plays electric
guitar, has played and recorded with The Coleman Brothers,
The Sullivan Family, Bill Grant and Delia Bell, Rebel
Records’ David Davis & the Warrior River Boys, and
Rebel Records’ Karl
Shiflett and the Big Country Show.
Miss Leslie
& Her Juke-Jointers have been nominated for Houston
Press Music Awards in 2004 and 2005. In 2005, they were
nominated for Best Original Band in the Houston
Chronicle’s Ultimate Houston Awards.
Original tunes
mainly come from Jake Jenkins, who wrote most of the
material for Rebel Records' Karl Shiflett and the Big
Country Show when he toured with them
