For our first Coldsnap Festival, a look back here

He was very well received here in Prince George and Doug Cox the AD of Vancouver Island Musicfest also had him perform.
We all loved the man, he was great to deal with and a gem onstage.
I am staggered...started watching the X Faxtor and who is part of the last 64 but Leroy!
....most of me is absolutely horrified that the super talented Leroy tried out for this..why?????????
Part of me absolutely applauds him for having the guts, the gall to do it when
he IS already so highly regarded. The man sells out the Triple Door in Seattle, has had Elton John record one of his songs...I cannot get my head around it at all!
Welll..he got thru tonight to the final 32 and is in the Over 30's category....
He should not have to go this route.....I am at a loss for words here...I am
sure he knows what he is doing but I am shaking my head.
We leave for the UK October 22nd for the year so we will now have to
try and watch online from there!!!!
I guess I hope he wins it....there goes a man who is so confident enough in himself that he would attempt this market....sure has nerve...
Cannot believe this...check him out www.leroybell.com
here are some reviews on the man..
A Change is Coming
Last summer I watched your band open for B.B. King, you weren't even through the first song and I was so diggin it. I bought this CD and you autographed it for me. A Change is Coming takes me to "back in the day", you know, the 70's, even though it is right here and now today. I have turned all of my friends onto your work, they all love you. Keep it comin' LeRoy. Thanks, SherryRead more...
A Change is Coming
We first saw LeRoy Bell perform in Prince George, British Columbia at the Cold Snap music festival and we were literally blown away. The 2 Sides to Every Story quickly became our most played CD of 2008 and so we were eagerly awaiting the latest CD. I must say that A Change is Coming is fantastic!! I was unsure how LeRoy could 'change' it up without losing the magic but this is what makes new music so wonderful as this latest CD has made us even bigger fans. Thanks LeRoy.Read more...
He leaves me wanting more!
The first time I heard Leroy Bell, I waspurchasing a pair of shoes @ Nordstrom and he was playing, for a promotion. I ended up staying and watching him for almost an hour. His sound and lyrics pulled me in. His message is so personal, but yet something so many can relate to. When I play his CD, my mood instantly picks up and everything seem 100% better. This is his 3rd CD I've purchased, and can't wait to see and hear him soon.
