Live @ Studio 64 will be hosting Leeroy Stagger and his band at the Centre 64 Theatre on October 21 at 8 p.m.

Stagger is a Canadian singer-songwriter who has variously been billed as alternative country rock or indie rock artist.

Maybe he’s not the same person he was 10 years ago, but if anything, Leeroy Stagger is more himself as ever.

It is said the cells in your body replace themselves every decade or so. After 11 albums, two EPs and 17 years as a singer-songwriter,  Stagger has been wondering if the soul works the same way.

Ten years sober, with two kids and a home in Victoria and a world class recording studio to go with it,  he is far removed from the hard-living, twenty-something who started on his musical path.

As far as Stagger can see, they aren’t even the same person.

Songs of environmental degradation,  greedy land developers (inspired by a character Buffy Saint- Marie told him about), Christmas songs about junkies and alcoholics, songs about race wars in America, modern day dustbowl songs of fleeing political ideology,  break up songs and songs about friends who have passed present as themes for his songwriting.

Anyone that has seen Stagger in concert comes away with glowing praise.

Tickets are selling fast for this high demand artist.

The concert is presented by OVERTIME Beer Works on October 21 at 8 p.m. in the Theatre at Centre 64.

Tickets: $25 members; $35 non-members. Only available online: www.cente64.com
