Leo Rondeau

Following a detour to neon cowboysville, Leo Rondeau plugged back into his old stomping grounds with a solo set at the Cactus Cafe last week and now loads his full band into a favored beer hall. Distilling Townes-inspired folk, Byrdsian country rock, and Lone Star honky-tonk with a plainsman perspective and a voice projecting honesty, Rondeau’s a treasure for discerning song junkies and rowdy two-steppers alike. – Kevin Curtin
