Bio / Background
"...it's as tight and right as any blues album this year."
Philip VanVleck, Billboard Magazine
"it rocks mightily."
David Menconi, News & Observer
**************************************
Featuring the captivating Todd Dewberry on vocals, the powerful Mighty Horns, and a rock-solid rhythm section, Raleigh, North Carolina-based Mighty Lester has the crowd on their feet within seconds of hitting the stage. Drawing on influences from Kansas City, West Coast and Chicago Blues to Memphis Stax Soul, Mighty Lester keeps your hands clappin’, your toes tappin’, and your butt shakin’ all night long. Formed in 2000 as a trio, they quickly expanded to a seven-piece with harmonica and two saxes. After their first club gig, the core of the band decided to kick it up a notch. They let the saxes, harp and keys go and brought in a full horn section, new keys man and dropped the harp altogether.
↓ more ↓Hitting the stage in September 2001 for their first live gig with the new lineup they were crowned the champions of the Triangle Blues Society 2001 Blues Competition and made the semi-final round in the 2002 International Blues Challenge.
Having spent a few years perfecting their craft and finding just the right mix of people, they were proud to be crowned the champs at the 2005 Piedmont Blues Preservation Society Blues Challenge. They are had a phemoninal showing in Memphis for the 2006 International Blues Challenge with numerour radio requests, gigs and tour offers and even a sit down with a major label executive.
More recently, Mighty Lester had the Blues Track of the Day five times and the Blues Track of the Week two times on Garageband.Com. They also were featured as the opening track on a recent episode of the Roadhouse Podcast.
" The Mighty Lester Band are solid senders of Jump, Swing and Rock n' Roll. Big vocals, spot on horns and stinging guitar, a band after my own heart. "
Chris Vachon, Roomful of Blues
" Loads of fun "
Bruce Iglauer, Alligator Records
“ ...delivers a MONSTER performance.”
Durham Herald Sun
" Mighty Lester are deep into it. The rhythm section hits hard and Lenny has the sound and the fury. He owns the tone and understands why and how to swing. These guys love what they're doing. "
Cranston Clements, Dr. John, Maria Muldaur
" Mighty Lester's wall of sound will fall on you like a ton of bricks leaving you dazed...look out! "
The Blues Hound, 90.1 FM KPFT Houston
"MIGHTY LESTER is the total package, gift-wrapped: soulful R&B bedroom ballads, down-n-dirty blues and thumpin'-pumpin'-jumpin' jive swathed in a colossal big band sound featuring killer solos that slap a bright red bow on top."
Sherry Johnson, Triangle Rockin' Blues

Sounds Mighty good to me!studz wrote on May 14, 2009
Shades of Fats Domino and Little Richard, with that "Big band" rhythm and Blues. Great music, with full intensions of pure enjoyment and fun...Enjoy.
How amazing can one album be?wooism wrote on February 21, 2008
The greatest Blues album since the 1960's. True deep south blues sound, oldschool style, and out of a modern band. It really doesn't get any better than this!
