Leeroy Stagger

Victoria born songwriter Leeroy Stagger grew up on Vancouver Island, immersed in rural rhythms and the sublime power of nature before moving to southern Alberta to write songs while surrounded by the relentless prairies, then he circled back to his native city. His first bands were immersed in punk ethics, embedding the strong sense of justice and urgency which fuels his journey as a solo artist.
Within a few years of commencing his songwriting pilgrimage, one of Stagger’s songs was used in Grey’s Anatomy twice before he turned 25. Thus, it’s no surprise his songs have won awards, honouring his innate affinity for melody, rhythm and integrity.
During this journey, Stagger embraced sobriety and, with his ingrained principles of open heartedness and candor - explored in book (2019 memoir Strange Path) and music (over a dozen albums) - he continues to write songs that capture moments and memories and captivate listeners. That journey of melody and insight continues in 2026 with new album “Pilgrimage”.
He also built a home studio and produces other songwriting gems like Mariel Buckley, Tim Easton and Pony Gold and celebrates fellow songwriters weekly on CKUA’s Dirty Windshields Radio Hour.
