Sometimes the planets align, and sometimes seemingly disparate elements can come together and form something far greater than the sum of its parts. A pair of random bookings and a chance phone call was all it took to bring the Les Masters Band–arguably the most entertaining live band in the region– to the masses. A country singer, a rock band, an energetic and engaging live show, and a song list that virtually brings the party…ladies and gentlemen…the Les Masters Band.
BIO
Vocalist Les Masters hails from the same Eastern Kentucky holler that spawned Loretta Lynn, Dwight Yoakum, and Chris Stapleton. And like these luminaries, you can hear it in his voice. That powerful, authentic croon and endearing personality has already taken him far. He spent most of the 90s touring as a rhythm guitarist and harmony vocalist for country legend Steve Wariner. An accomplished songwriter, he has had his songs covered by several Nashville up-and-comers. In a live setting, his dynamic and engaging presence ensures that everyone feels like part of the show.
The architect of the band's overall sound, guitarist David Claar is the ultimate utility man. The myriad of textural elements in the band's sound come primarily from Claar. The Nashville TN native brings a discerning ear ( he was chosen to remaster JJ Cale's whole catalog, for Pete's sake!) and attention to detail that ensures that the audience gets the best sound and the tightest performance possible.
The dynamic backbeat of drummer Jonny Claar cannot be denied. At the tender age of 22, the Winslow, AZ-bred Claar can serve up a beat with such authority that it hits one on a primal level, all while delivering crucial 3rd part vocal harmonies. Jonny was recently endorsed by Diamondback Drumstick Co, which is a good thing...he goes through a lot of them!
