Reid's Distillery | Toronto, ON
After ten years of playing 30’s and 40’s vocal jazz standards by the likes of Nat King Cole and Fats Waller, The Lesters began covering songwriters such as Tom Waits, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell, as well as writing their own originals. The result is a setlist that spans a hundred years of popular music and yet remains entirely cohesive. Piano, acoustic guitar, double bass and three-part vocal harmony combine into a sound that is intimate, intricate, swinging and soulful, with Tory’s brandy-dipped baritone soaring above it all.
In November 2017, THE LESTERS released their long-awaited debut EP, “THE PROMISE”, featuring six gorgeous and evocative original songs recorded at Blue Rodeo's studio The Woodshed in Toronto, ON. The writing and arrangements on THE PROMISE display immense experience, care, and craft - not surprising in a band with two Juno nominees.
