Join us as we come for a great day of live music supporting Tony LeClerc, the incredible guitarist for Twinkle & Rock Soul Radio who recently suffered a life-altering injury to his spine. The event will feature the West Coast of Florida's greatest rock musicians, including Chris Hicks of Marshall Tucker Band, Chis Anderson of the Outlaws, Sal Italiano of Anvil, Jimmy Delisi of Julliet, Berry Oakley Junior and Michael Allman. Plus former members of Southside Johnny & Asbury Jukes, former members of Dickey Betts & Great Southern, and many others. There will be an incredible silent auction, raffle, and opportunities to win collectable instruments and signed memorabilia! The great Phil Phunn will MC! Background:
Tony was injured in April and required spine surgery. The injury has made it impossible to use his left hand, which is his fretting hand and how he has made a living since he was 17 years old. Tony needs our support in paying for his medical bills and the loss of income during this time.
Tony is a recording artist and touring musician. He is currently the bass guitarist and vocalist for Twinkle & Rock Soul Radio, and has performed all around the world alongside his half-sister, lead vocalist Twinkle Schascle Yochim. Tony was a founding member of NYC-based 80's metal band Big Bad Wolf and has an impressive performance history, having shared the stage with musical luminaries including Brian Johnson of AC-DC, Scotti Hill from Skid Row, Russel Arcara of Prophet, Mark Tornillo of TT Quick and ACCEPT, Danny Schuler of Bio Hazard, Johnny Kelly of Type O Negative, Danzig and Quiet Riot, Rob Moschetti from M.O.D. and Pro Pain, Jimmy DeLisi of JULLIET, Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band, Steve Augeri of Journey and Tyketto, Chris Anderson of the Outlaws, Chris Hicks of the Marshall Tucker Band, Rick Derringer, and Pat Travers. Brett Carlisle of Great white Berry Oakley Jr, Duane Betts, Trixter and many more.
Known for his stage presence, vocal ability, and heavy-handed bass playing, Grammy-nominated producer Bud Snyder has praised Tony, saying "You could set your watch to that guy". He's been described as not only a rock-solid bass player, but a talented band leader who's done a remarkable job promoting his groups.
Tony has had endorsements with Peavey Bass Guitars and Amplification, Honor Bass Guitars, Tregan Bass Guitars, D'angelico strings, Optima 24kt. Gold Bass Strings, Blue Magic Bass Strings, and Sinister Guitar Pics. Tony also has his own signature line of bass guitars made by Bryan Custom Guitars.
