Little Lesley & The Bloodshots

Little Lesley & the Bloodshots are an original rockabilly trio from New York. Described by the UK's Vintage Rock magazine as a "welcome shot in the arm for the rockin' faithful", they have taken the scene by storm with their fiery twang and high-energy live show.

Lesley Swift fronts the band, belting out her songs and slapping the upright bass like someone born to do it. Her passionate performances, complete with breathtaking bass moves, have lit up stages around the world, including the Nashville Boogie, Viva Las Vegas, Summer Jamboree (IT) and the Hotrod Hayride (UK).

On guitar she is joined by ex-cowboy and punk rock'n'roll veteran Brian "Swifty" Swift. The two met in Nevada, where Swifty's wild guitar style turned Lesley on to rockabilly, and together they ventured to New York, where they found Staten Island native Bobby Lee. Bobby's big band influences shape his drumming and give their guitar-driven, twangy sound an extra bounce.

After two independently released albums, Little Lesley & The Bloodshots were signed in 2016 by the legendary Western Star Records of the United Kingdom. Their "Doin' Fine" EP, recorded and produced by Alan Wilson, has caused quite a stir and gets regular airplay on BBC radio.

The band now also has a home base in Greenville, SC, and tours the USA and the UK regularly. You can follow them at thebloodshots.com.
