The conception of Leslie Adele and A Nickel Bag of Funk happened on a wing and a dare on July 4th, 2005. Leslie who was a waitress at the time at the North Beach Grill on Tybee Island, GA was dared to go on stage and sing. Never being one to back down Leslie jumped up and belted out “Superstitious” by Stevie Wonder, she finished that night with double tips and motivation to start a band. The immediate future for A Nickel Bag of Funk and Leslie is to keep touring and performing, having performed over 300 performances in the past year. This is truly the busiest little band in the South East.
