You’ve probably heard one of his songs and not even realized it!”Steve Leslie has been playing guitar and singing onstage since he was 15 years old. Today, along with performing his own music, Steve has joined some of the best players in Nashville in presenting his original show “How Sweet It Is! Steve Leslie Sings James Taylor.”Leslie’s warm baritone, exceptional guitar technique, (not to mention his uncanny resemblance), creates a one-of-a-kind tribute to an American music icon. This is not an “impersonator” show, as Leslie will also be performing some of his award-winning songs during the concert, and sharing stories about Nashville from an insider’s perspective. Joining in on piano and keyboards will be Nashville multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer, Kyle Tupper.Suitable for all audiences, “How Sweet it Is! Steve Leslie Sings James Taylor” will be presented on Friday April 7th, at 7pm, at the Tolowa Event Center, inside the Lucky 7 Casino complex, at 350 N. Indian Road in Smith River, CA. Tickets are $20 for General, $18 for Seniors over 65, and $15 for Students. They are available through DNACA.Eventbrite.com or at Del Norte Office Supply in Crescent City. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door, but organizers are recommending early purchase as the show may sell out.The remainder of DNACA’s Performance Series season includes one more concert.The season will conclude on Friday, May 12, 2023 with Gideon Freudmann: CelloBop.
