Scott Smith has helped make a lot of other people sound great over the years. From the arena-sized country of Aaron Pritchett and the heartland roots-rock of Barney Bentall to a slew of insurgent Vancouver club champs like Rich Hope, Speeding West and Marin Patenaude, Smith has been everybody’s ringer, flipping between guitar and pedal steel while casually raising the bar with lightning technique and unfailing good taste. With his band Just A Season, Scott Smith switches from sideman to frontman, enlisting some of his favourite players to put the right groove on a collection of songs that recall an era when folk, rock, and country met in a sun-baked embrace.

“Leeroy Stagger sounds like what I imagine the Grateful Dead would be with Jason Isbell singing lead.” A master storyteller, Leeroy offers a folk-Americana delivery but throws in a much more defined rock edge that is more comparable to the newest Sturgill Simpson, or in line with Bruce Springsteen, T. Rex and Wilco. Leeroy has returned to live in Victoria, running his recording studio in Victoria, and hosting “The Dirty Windshields Radio Show on CKUA Radio.
