<p>We’re highlighting our one and only lead vocalist, Brian Leighton! Through more than two decades now, 12 albums, and 70,000 album copies sold, Brian and his band have been tearing up rock clubs, festivals and private parties. He truly connects with the heart of his fans, delivering a rock’n’roll spirit night after night. Brian released his first album in 1994 called “One Time … One Life,” followed by 11 others, including new release “BELIEVE.” He made his national debut with “Get Up” and was recognized by Billboard.com as a Top 10 Country Artist to watch in 2014. With over 200 shows a year, dedicated fans even follow the band to Mexico. His music clearly leaves a lasting impression. But at the end of the day, Brian says “I’m just a common guy, a working-class kid from a Twin Cities suburb who loves to put on a good show and hopefully write some good songs in between.” Now let’s see his spotlight answers below! </p>
<p>1. How did you get into music and start GB Leighton? </p>
<p>“I knew I wanted to be in music when I was 10 and heard Bruce Springsteen singing ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town.’ </p>
<p>When I was 14 I picked up the guitar and started writing songs. I knew I wanted to write songs because of the way certain songs made me feel. It was a freedom that allowed me to express my feelings in an easier way. </p>
<p>At 15 I joined a neighborhood basement band and started playing my songs as well as cover songs. </p>
<p>After high school, I came up with the name GB Leighton, by mixing up my initials with my middle name, and focused on forming a band to back me up and roll with my songs.” </p>
<p>2. What’s your favorite song you’ve written/performed? </p>
<p>“‘Come Alive’ has always been a song I was proud of writing. ‘I Am’ is also a recent one I like. Anything off the new album Believe I love playing live. ‘Don’t Let Me Go’ is pretty powerful. ‘I See You’ is fun to sing live. I like starting the show lately with ‘Lost.’ I think it’s a good opener.” </p>
<p>3. What do you like to do when you’re not playing? </p>
<p>“When I'm not playing, I'm mostly a homebody. I like hanging at home, or working in the garden. I write often, but at weird times. It comes to me when it comes to me.”</p>

It scared me. Depressed me. Really had no feeling of what I was anymore or if I even mattered. February 4, 2021 5:59 pm. Mazatlan, Mexico. I snapped a weird sunset. Days later, I saw it. Do you see it? Do you BELIEVE? </p>

<p>When I was in high school, I wrote a song for my senior class called Graduation Day. Nothing ever came of the song, but I was recently inspired by my son graduating that I wrote another "Graduation Day". And now, because it's the future, I can share this song with all of you. Congratulations to all of you who have graduated, and please pass along to anyone you know that is graduating! You can download it for free in the store!</p>

Our friend <a contents="Ali Gray" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.aligray.com" target="_blank">Ali Gray</a> will be opening. This is a special evening kicking off the 2nd Chance release celebration. Music starts at 7:30. Tickets go on sale to the public today at noon! Tickets are expected to sell out so make sure you get yours right away! </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a contents="http://thehookmpls.com/event/gb-leighton/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://thehookmpls.com/event/gb-leighton/" target="_blank">http://thehookmpls.com/event/gb-leighton/</a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SATURDAY APRIL 6th at BUNKER'S, MINNEAPOLIS </strong></p>
<p>Saturday, April 6th will be the 2nd Chance release party at Bunker's Bar and Grill in Minneapolis! Full band rock! There will not be ticket pre-sales for this show. </p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>IMPORTANT: </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Please plan on ride share options such as Uber/Lyft, etc. The NCAA is in town the same weekend. Hotel rooms are filling up and rideshare may be difficult. You can pre-schedule your Uber and Lyft rides. We suggest to do that now so you won't have any issues on 4/5 and 4/6. Parking will be limited for both nights as well. If making a night or weekend of it, book hotel rooms early too! </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span class="font_large">We can't wait to celebrate </span></strong></p>

<p>When we started the 2nd Chance Kickstarter campaign 45 days ago, never in our wildest dreams did we think we would make our goal in 24 hours. The pledges, the kind words, and the continued encouragement has meant the world and keeps us going. Take a second to watch the video message from Brian below! </p>
<p>The Kickstarter campaign ends tonight at 11pm. There’s still time to make a pledge. There’s some really awesome packages left. Additional funds will go to the promotion of 2nd Chance, incidental expenses, and any unforeseen overages we may not have counted on. </p>

<p>The next steps start now! We will be reaching out to pledgers in the coming weeks to get your details and to keep you posted on the progress and the plans for the release party and meet & greet. We hope that you will continue to follow along during this journey. </p>
<p>Thank you for being a fan. We can’t wait to get the new songs in your hands! </p>

<p>He has been a friend of mine since 1988 when I first started Gb Leighton. He was my first drummer in my new band. We've played on and off again for years and have remained great friends and band mates.</p>
<p>Scott has been pursuing a college degree as he's been playing with us, and he has achieved his goal. I'm so proud of him and to have played with him as long as I have. I look forward to his future. You may see him again subbing if we need him but he's taking a new step and starting a new future. We as a band are backing him in his decision and look forward to seeing what he does. </p>
<p>Another great drummer I've worked with is coming back. I'm so happy that Ryan Inselman will be a part of Gb Leighton again. Ryan is such a great guy and he'll pick up right where Scott left off. </p>
<p>So please give your respect to Scott in this last month of him playing, and please welcome back Ryan with open arms. Gb Leighton has always been about family and friends. Never about egos. I'm happy to say that this is the same. </p>
<p>Scott, we wish you the best as you move on. We only want great things for you.</p>
<p>Ryan, I love that you are coming back to the family. I look forward to rocking with you again. </p>
<p>Fans, I love you all and I'll always make sure you have the best possible band in front of you. You deserve it. </p>
<p>Ryan will start in April. </p>
<p>Thank you all for your support!! </p>
<p>Love you </p>
<p>B</p>

A huge thanks to Norma Cisneros of El Cid for making our stay so amazing. We had over 100 fans fly Sun Country Airlines with us. We had a meet and greet sunset cruise, played three amazing shows, and got to spend lots of time with you in the sun. We also were able to do something truly special, to give back to the Mazatlan community. We were put in touch with a girls orphanage and boys orphanage to see how we could help. We put out a list of items to those heading down with us and within 24 hours all of it and more was being donated and brought down from our fans and band members. Not only that, we had over $1200 in donations from our amazing fans that Brian was able to present to the orphanage. We are beyond blown away by the love and generosity our GB Leighton family. Thank you for making this trip so amazing and memorable. </p>
<p>Should we do it in 2019 too?! Drop us a message and let us know if you want to come party with us!</p>
