Eric Leadbetter was born in the town of Bozeman, MT. He spent his youth hanging at his family's ranch in Ennis MT, and snowboarding at Bridger bowl.

His musical career started in 2003 when he recorded his first solo album, Eric’s cosmic kitchen. He then moved to Boulder, CO in 2004 when he started playing out in local coffee shops and small bars. In 2006 he established the rock n roll band, Jive Coulis with some good friends from high school. Jive Coulis was dis-banded in 2017 and Leadbetter Band was born. Leadbetter Band released their first album in 2019, and the second album, “Howl” will be released in summer 2021!

Currently, he lives in Central Oregon and plays gigs constantly in the Pacific Northwest. Throughout the challenges of 2020-present with the gig economy shifting, Eric has continued to evolve and find creative ways to bring music into the Pacific Northwest communities, and the online community. His music is very unique and original, with ghostly echoes of the golden ages of rock. And it should be, since he draws his musical inspiration from these eras by listening to a vast collection of classic vinyl.

“I want my music to not only reach people’s ears in a sweet and engaging way, but also to challenge the mind and inspire the heart and soul. I have creatively explored music very deeply in my life, and I see no end to the amount of musical wisdom to be gained. It is an honor for me to be able to share my musical expression with people that are open and willing.”

As always, shows are all ages and free for everyone!
