Even though I have seen Lenny a few times, this time was different. What Lenny always brings to his shows is energy and fun. This time he came with an 11 piece band! Horns with three backup singers and of course, the Lenny Swagger. His music has a FUNK, R/B, SOUL feel to it. Even […]

This was totally different for me personally and BackStage360 as […]
