  • George Lesiw Recognized As One of the Most Prolific and Versatile
    George Lesiw Recognized as one of the most prolific and versatile jazz performers on the Connecticut music scene, guitarist George Lesiw has made his surge a topic of conversation and interest amongst the Northeast audience. Lesiw combines the true improvisational essence and language of jazz, the daring electricity of rock-fusion and the gritty fire of blues. Known as a bandleader and sideman for some time now, Lesiw initiates a spark of rock-fusion with a combination of the emotional fire of the blues sprinkled with funk, soul and R& B, making him a desired performer in music venues across the state and beyond. Whether playing a straight-ahead jazz gig with his quartet at Bar 140 in Shelton, Connecticut or wailing his blues with his new blues project, Black Snake Boots, at Connecticut’s premier blues clubs, Black- Eyed Sally’s in Hartford, or playing original jazz fusion music on the main stage of the Long Beach Jazz Festival in California, one thing remains constant – Lesiw exemplifies a passion, virtuosity, versatility and fire to his music like no other. His most recent performances include a duo residency with Lee-Ann Lovelace at Crave, a Latin fusion restaurant and night club in Ansonia. Once a month, he leads the popular blues jam at Café Nine in New Haven. Twice a month, he leads the jazz jam at Bar 140 in Shelton, Connecticut. Lesiw was also the main guitarist with “A Nordic Sound Jazz Orchestra” (2016-17). In 2017, his band “Black Snake Boots” was a finalist at the 2017 Connecticut Blues Challenge.

  • Biography (PDF)
    Johnny Nicholas Biography by Jacy Meador Nestled deep in the Texas Hill Country, just outside of Fredericksburg, you’ll find a former gas station turned restaurant & music venue named the Hill Top Café. A visit to this eclectic café gives a good idea of the worldly, yet down-home nature of Johnny Nicholas’ unique style. Built piece by piece, recipe by recipe, and song by song by Johnny Nicholas and his beloved late wife Brenda, the Hill Top Café is covered in music memorabilia and old photos from his nearly five decades of touring. The décor, home-cooked food, and tunes on the old jukebox give a glimpse into the vast melting pot of Americana that define not only the food at the Café, but the incomparable musical style of Johnny Nicholas. Often referred to as a ‘bluesman,’ to classify Johnny Nicholas as strictly a blues artist is quite a misnomer. Nicholas’ signature style of music might be better defined as deep roots music. His musical roots grow deep and wide – spanning the many musical traditions found across the country. Drawing from the wealth of musical influences found in areas such as Chicago, Louisiana and Texas – Nicholas’ original music stirs together elements of folk, blues, western-swing, jazz, Cajun and country. While his dexterity on the guitar, husky growl of a baritone, and talent on the 88’s make him well at home in the world of blues and jazz, Nicholas’ skill as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and performer of authentic Americana music is not to be understated. Having written “the first song he was proud of” in the early 1970s at the encouragement of his friend and mentor Robert Lockwood Jr.
