Canadian singer-songwriter Jerry Leger makes a welcome return to the UK in April 2025 for solo, acoustic shows, to coincide with the release of his new solo album “Lucky Streak – Latent Lounge, Live From The Hangar” on 21st March 2025.
The recording of “Lucky Streak – Latent Lounge, Live From The Hangar” was. in Leger’s own words: “The morning after I played my last show of 2024, I met up with Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) at his studio, The Hangar in Toronto. Since late 2013, we have recorded a lot of music in this room together, all of which has been released on their label, Latent Recordings. The idea was to pick a bunch of my songs from the past and present and I’d perform them solo, either the way they were written or the way they’ve evolved. The result is “Lucky Streak – Latent Lounge, Live From The Hangar” and you know, I feel lucky”.
The album covers all of his career including the title track which featured on his first Latent Lounge release in 2014, three songs from his most recent studio album “Donlands” (2023) and ‘On Your Own’ from his sophomore album, “Farewell Ghost Town” (2006) of which Leger says “I hope the intimate vocal/piano version on “Lucky Streak” will give this song a rediscovery.”. You can hear the first single – the “Lucky Streak” version of ‘Out There Like The Rain’ below.
Leger, who has built a growing fanbase this side of the pond for his live performances, will play the following UK dates in April. The shows are part of a European stint which also takes in Germany and The Netherlands. Tickets can be accessed here.
