 Meet
The Tin Angels: a high energy roots trio backing Les Sampou.
The band, with its stellar repertoire of all new Les originals,
melds traditional with modern to create an exceptional evening
of music audiences will talk about long after the lights go down.
Les pulls in her blues and country influences and the boys kick
it into high gear with their very talented, very versatile electric
bass, guitars and drum playing.

 Guitarist,
singer, songwriter Mark Cunningham has performed
in a variety of bands and in countless recording sessions. Born
and raised outside Boston, this multi-genre, multi-instrumentalist
is equally comfortable in an acoustic folk/blues setting as well
as twang/billy or rock and roll. An accomplished vocalist, he has
worked with a number of Grammy, Emmy and Oscar winning producers
and artists. After living fifteen years in Los Angeles, he has
relocated to the Boston area.
 Bassist Dan
DeLeo moved to Boston from New Orleans in 1999 and
quickly picked up work playing live and recording with local
bands. He toured regionally with Irish rockers Los Diablos
and more recently played and recorded with roots rockers The
Splendid Nobodies. Originally from Pearl River, New York, DeLeo
credits his musical upbringing to the 12 years he spent living
in New Orleans where he absorbed the diverse sounds and rhythms
of the region's varied musical offerings, from blues to Cajun,
Zydeco and swamp pop, to country. In the Big Easy, he played
with local country rockers the Mudpies and roots rockers, Lonesome
Bones. In addition to electric and stand up bass, DeLeo plays
guitar and drums.
 Drummer Jim
Weston has been playing in the Boston scene and beyond
since 1984. Versatility allows him to stay busy working with
rock, blues, pop, and experimental artists. Jim plays with
his ears, tastefully supporting the nuance of the song, or
creating the power of rhythmic intensity. Jim brings love of
the instrument to the art of song creation, the process of
recording, and the thrill of live performance.
This is Les at her best. A twenty year dream come true. Visit
