Description
Les can be hired as a great single act but also has many musicians that love to play his gigs with him. He can be hired as a Single act as well as a Duo, Trio or up to a full six piece band of great performers who have worked with him for many years. A Three to six piece band is really great for larger parties and you will be provided with lots of fun personalities as an addition to your special event, as well as a fun filled night of great and very memoriable music.
This is a copy and paste about one of Les's most recent gigs at Mt. Hood Meadows. This was the 8th time he has been hired back by this wonderful venue. This article was copied directly from their website, posted about Les for the FEB 04, 2012 Gig in the Vertical Room there:
In addition to Johnny Cash sound alike, Les has also been hired for Elvis sound alike gigs, and has recorded a Christmas Album of Elvis Presley songs in which many comment that they actually thought it was Elvis singing. Here's what the Ski Lodge had to say:

About Les:
Whether he is singing or playing the guitar, regardless of what style of song he is performing, Les's voice will surround you with full resonance and presence that many singers are not gifted with. Some say "he sounds more like Johnny Cash, than Johnny Cash," when performing many of the hits made famous by this country music legend. Les is described, as a friend's wife puts it as; "very commanding and unforgettable." Les brings country standards, oldies, and rock and roll to the forefront and performs them in a way that is in fact, "original" and in his own style. Les has the ability to rock your soul, or cause tears to run down your cheeks, or make you laugh... all signs of a truly wonderful performer and entertainer.
I think you will agree.

Feedback
- Les adapted his performance to the audience with personal attention and compassion. He was prompt in setting up for the performance and was very well liked by participants. His vocals were rich and warm. We were very pleased to have him at our celebration of life. He felt like part of the family. Donna -- Donna B, Portland, OR, 4/14/2012
