George Leach, Juno award winner, brings soulful music to the stage at the Night Before Concert in Lewis Park on June 30 at 7:00 p.m. George’s music has blues roots with touches of classic rock, soul, R&B and funk and evokes his home territory of the Sta’atl’imx in BC’s interior - with vocal melodies soaring over top like an eagle in flight, all in his unmistakable voice. His original songwriting and performance is full of passion and connection and is a statement to change and growth in life.
