His set also included his newest hit, about to be released and never before performed “Hold Onto Love”, which promised to be a globally recognized chart explosion….And the band…Triggered by the words “Leon & The People’s” the People’s rock with Monia Amore and Alexis Layne who can belt out a tune, lead guitarist Alex, the one and only T-Bone playing bass, keys and nearly everything else, second bassist Maverick, keyboardist  Cinnamon, and cool drummer Daryl Chalmers.

After two climactic encores Leon left the stage while fans gathered round to show their appreciation….and he accompanied the fandom…..
