For all intents and purposes, Leftmore (singer/songwriter Joe Ziegler) rests solely on the shoulders of DIY . . . a fallen laurel of work ethic, miles upon miles on the road, and making a solid network of musical friends across the nation.  From the first pairing of duo Matt Shaw and Ziegler, the band consistently threw caution to the wind and wrote poetic songs that actually existed as memories from their adventures on the road.  Not many bands with this much talent as a duo can say that they had chased the dream across highways for 4 straight years and never once wanted to be signed . . . they just continued wanting an audience to play for.

Sadly, Leftmore is back down to a solo project and Ziegler soldiers on.

Full Disclosure: I have known Joe for many years  . . . since sophomore year of high school to be exact.  His drive is amazing and his talent as a songwriter and poet is second to none.  On “Knives in my Father’s Eyes” he channels the spirit of a fallen gunslinger . . . one that is not too far from Leftmore’s own aesthetic, “Grit and pride”.

Please support this band should they come through your town.
