MNspin Musician of the Week: Leslie Rich and the Rocket Soul Choir

Thursday, August 11 from 12-1pm 

Leslie Rich (vocals, guitar, keyboards) grew up in Northern Ireland, listening to a mix of indie rock, acoustic songwriters and traditional Celtic music. He founded the Rocket Soul Choir in 1994, mainly as an

acoustic response to the heavy, guitar-driven, Irish bands cropping up at that time. Even while Leslie recorded solo albums, played in other projects and relocated to Minneapolis, the Rocket Soul Choir continued in various configurations over the years–always with the mission to create stripped-down rock.
