History Leonas Sister was originally a recording project created in 1998 by JT. The intent was to get her original writing put to music and recorded. With a few friends, she went into Studio92 and recorded the first CD, “Almost Alive” In 1999, the project developed into a more regular pattern and the band Leonas Sister was started. More songs, new players, another visit to Studio92 and the second CD, “Out Of The Basement”, was born. JT was struck by falling ice early in the spring of 1999. This brought the band to a halt but she continued to write songs. In 2010, even though JT was still dealing with headaches from the injury, she and Baz discussed reforming the band and approached Mike, their jamming partner. They also recruited Barb and Len who they met in the League of Rock’s winter 2010 session. 2011 saw Leonas Sister back to Studio92 and in August 2011, they released a 5 song EP titled, 552010. In August 2012, Mike left the band and was replaced by Deputy Dave Hanson. leonassister/ reverbnation/leonassister https://twitter/LeonasSister https://itunes.apple/ca/album/552010/id455207681 Booker Baz - booking@leonassister https://facebook/leonas.sister/app_261560383923827 https://facebook/leonas.sister
