The Brian Leneschmidt Band is a Tampa Bay Blues-Rock band mixing Blues, Rock and Funk. They perform high energy shows as a trio or a four or five piece throughout the Bay area and beyond. The band formed in August of 2012, not long after Brian moved to St. Petersburg, FL. After two years of playing shows and gaining fans they expanded the line up with appearances from vocal powerhouse Karyn Denham, and Thomas Mignella on Sax building even more of a presence in the region. With Brian (Guitar, Vocals) Jason Lewis (Bass) and Dave Dube (Drums) the band is a fun and dynamic act with a real passion for music. Shows feature original music and covers with their own twist, a must see! The band released their new album "High Water Rising" with Karyn in the fall of 2016.
