Leeroy Stagger is back with his sophomore album, which was released last Friday, along with a book. The singer-songwriter and producer was born in Victoria, British Columbia. He started listening to country music in his grandparent’s home, where he was staying for most of his youth, before playing in a punk rock band at 18.

According to Americana UK, his new album was mixed by Ryan Freeland. The Grammy award-winner has worked with artists like Bonnie Raitt and Ray LaMontagne. Then co-producing with Stagger on some of the tracks was Brad Barr from The Barr Brothers.
