"Meet The Queen Bee"

aka "BAM BAM":

A DRUMMER SINCE THE AGE OF NINE, LEESA KEEPS UP WITH THE BOYZ. "IT ALL STARTED AFTER I SAW BLACK SABBATH’S "NEVER SAY DIE" TOUR IN 78’!", SHE CLAIMS. "BILL WARD IS MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE. IF I COULD JUST PLAY LIKE THAT MAN, MY LIFE WOULD BE COMPLETE!!".

22 YEARS LATER LEESA IS STILL BEATING THE SKINS. SHE HAS SUCCESSFULLY MADE A NAME FOR HERSELF IN THE HOUSTON MUSIC SCENE. VOTED ‘BEST DRUMMER’ FROM 92’-98’, ENDORSEMENTS FROM PRO*MARK DRUMSTICKS AND KANSAS CITY DRUMWORKS DRUMS, AND A LOT OF CRAZY ROAD STORIES. LEESA HAS PLAYED IN OVER 30 OF THE 50 UNITED STATES. ALL OF THEM SHE PLAYED WITH ERIC DANE, WHILE IN ‘CAROLYN WONDERLAND AND THE IMPERIAL MONKEYS’.

ERIC AND LEESA HAVE SHARED STAGES WITH SOME OF THE BEST AND BIGGEST BANDS IN THE WORLD. THE FIRST TOUR LEESA DID WITH ERIC WAS A WEEK LONG TOUR OPENING FOR BUDDY GUY. THEY HAVE OPENED FOR OTHER BIG ACTS LIKE LYNARD SKYNARD, ERIC BURDON, IRON BUTTERFLY, STEPPENWOLF, MOTLEY CRUE, BB KING, KOKO TAYLOR, DOYLE BRAMHAL, BLUE OYSTER CULT, NAZARETH, LOS LOBOS, MOUNTAIN, PAT TRAVERS, BLACK OAK ARKANSAS, AND MANY, MANY OTHERS. THEY HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MILES TOGETHER. NOT TOO MANY MUSICIANS CAN GO THROUGH WHAT THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH AND STILL BE TOGETHER TO TELL FOLKS ABOUT IT!! (VAN WRECKS IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, DRIVING FOR MONTHS AT A TIME IN A VAN WITH FOUR OTHER PEOPLE, ETC…) TO MISS THESE TWO IN ACTION SHOULD BE A CARDINAL SIN!!

LEESA JOINED FORCES WITH HER LONG TIME PARTNER, ERIC, AND GOOD FRIEND, JIMMY, TO FORM "JIMMY’S PAWN SHOP". SHE CLAIMS THAT SHE IS HAVING MORE FUN WITH THESE TWO GUYS THAN SHE HAS HAD IN A LONG, LONG TIME. SO, GET OUT THERE AND SHAKE IT TO HER BIG PURKLE SPARKLE DRUMS!!!
