A Message from Leslie

Hello Everybody! I hope things continue to be well with everyone.

I'm getting really busy thanks to Owen Kirschner of Kirschner Creative Artists (KCA). Check my schedule often. Chances are growing ever greater that I'll be appearing somewhere near you. I am already returning to three of the venues that I visited since beginning the partnership with my "Great new agent" and it hasn't officially been two years yet!

Some news:

My show, "Lady Ain't Singing No Blues", my take on Billie Holiday's heroism, has been added to the KCA roster along with "The Spirit of Harriet Tubman". It will hit the road in the fall of 2024. Bookings are starting soon.

I am under commission to revamp the show formerly titled "The Shelton Brooks Darktown Strutters Review and Ball." "The Darktown Strutters Ball" will premiere in Orangeville Ontario with Theatre Orangeville in April 2024 where I'll be playing with my dear friend, Cassel Miles. Keep an eye out for that too.

In the meantime, I'm having a good time living life and loving it. I hope you are too!

Take good care.

Peace and Blessings, Love and Light,

Leslie
