Sweet Leda (with Lower Case Blues) at Barrel House Live!

Sweet Leda knows how to get the party started – moving and grooving with an undeniably contagious energy that leaps right off the stage, as front-woman Julie Cymek often does. Cymek’s deep, bluesy wail is familiar and fun, a bopping, rhythmic sneer that’s just as much Mary J. Blige as it is Janis Joplin. From smooth and sultry to jumpin and bumpin, Sweet Leda blends new-school funk and soul with old-school blues and rock into a stew so red hot, you can feel the flavor from the first lick.

Touring the mid Atlantic regularly for over a decade, Sweet Leda has shared the stage with artists such as Galactic, 311, Dumpstaphunk, Butch Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, Luther Dickinson, Maceo Parker, and Jefferson Starship, picking up five Tri State Indie Music Awards, a Maryland Music Award, a Groupie’s Choice Award, and more along the way. They have played festivals from Artscape in Baltimore to Summerfest in Milwaukee. They were even hand-picked by Butch Trucks to play Roots Rock Revival in New York.

This band loves to jam and often brings along some of their uber-talented super friends to spice things up!
Lower Case Blues is a Blues/Jam trio hailing from the eastern shore and has been together since 2003. Founding members Jake Banaszak (Guitar) and BJ Muntz (Bass/Vocals) play and original blues style that is based on traditional blues, but expands into an organic and very improvisational sound that is uniquely their own. Having recorded several albums and gigging relentlessly over the years, the band has earned a reputation of being one of the hardest working bands in the land.
See YOU at the show!
