Thanks for asking about Les Izmore, the hottest acoustic music act in the Valley.... Les Izmore presents acoustic renditions of the greatest in original and traditional blues and jazz. Les is the perfect compliment to the bustling dining room, the pensive exhibit opening or the exclusive private event.

An energetic celebration of traditional American music, Les Izmore explores the roots of classic blues and jazz native to Mississippi, Louisiana and Chicago. The soothing voice and sighing hollowbody, acoustic and slide guitars of Les Izmore take center stage in a panorama of country, folk, rockabilly and Chicago blues styles. Harmonica virtuoso Lee Poole, noted for his versatility, alternates between frank testimonial and sensitive reflection. Instrumental and vocal arrangements of jazz standards get high marks from your upscale clientele.

Original songs by Les Izmore like Old LA and Who Knows Who serve as the core of Izmore sets that also feature classics by Muddy Waters, Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, Ray Charles, Slim Harpo, George Gershwin and B.B.King. Les has recently expanded his repertoire to include classic rock from Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival and instrumental renditions of classic jazz and rock numbers to ensure broad audience appeal.

Les has always been an ongoing project that is remarkably versatile, adjusting the musicians, instrumentation and songlist to create the appropriate ambience for your business or event. Les Izmore is available as an acoustic duo or trio, or as an electric dance quartet. Whatever outfit you choose, Les means entertainment in style.

The band has completed more than five hundred compensated performances from 1995-2007 throughout the Valley and in Tucson, Prescott, Sedona, Denver and Washington D.C. The acoustic Les performs regularly at Pier 54 in The Lakes community in Tempe, while the electric quartet has been featured at several resorts, restaurants and nightclubs in Phoenix, Scottsdale and the East Valley.

We specialize in providing quality entertainment at upscale restaurants, resorts and private events. Les assists with event marketing through our website calendar, color flyers and by direct emails to fans on the LESNET NEWS Internet distribution list.
