Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter, Leeroy Stagger, is bringing his latest album to Kelowna on Nov. 1.
To say that the Alberta musician91Ƶs life journey has followed a strange path would be a bit of an understatement. 17 years as a singer-songwriter and 10 years sober, with kids, a home in Lethbridge, Alberta and a world-class recording studio to go with it, he91Ƶs far removed from the hard-living twenty-something who started on his musical path in the B.C. punk space.

In a nod to his 91Ƶstrange path91Ƶ, that is the name of the album Stagger is touring. It is currently seeing significant airplay with his first single from the record, the glam-rock blissed out 91ƵStrange Attractor,91Ƶ hitting number 1 on the CKUA radio charts and staying in the top 20 on the CBC National Charts, climbing as high as number three ahead of the likes of Tegan and Sara, HAIM, Walk Off the Earth and The New Pornographers.
Strange Path is full of sharp hooks and sharper insight and 91ƵStrange Attractor91Ƶ rides that line right to the end.
91ƵNothing is ever permanent when you really stop and think,91Ƶ said Stagger.
91ƵThe home we live in, the car we drive, the children we raise, the art we make and the skin that we91Ƶre in. It91Ƶs not forever it91Ƶs barely real, and that91Ƶs ok to me because I91Ƶve been shown the truth of it all. Seeing that it91Ƶs not that big of a deal, this has shown me how beautiful it all is. It91Ƶs precious, impermanent and beautiful. Strange Sector is about the unseen nature of impermanence and the sacredness of the life we live.91Ƶ
Stagger is performing at the Mary Irwin Theatre at downtown Kelowna91Ƶs Rotary Centre for Arts. Tickets for the event are $25, rising to $30 on the day of the show. Tickets can be purchased .
