From Cover Band to Discover this Band,

Leslie Adele presents A Nickel Bag of Funk

Based out of Savannah, GA this hard working band is funk infused with mixes of R&B, Hip Hop, Rock and Soul. It is truly an eclectic musical experience that gets the crowd going and makes the audience demand more. What is consistent about this band throughout the years is its musicianship. It does not matter if it is a three piece or ten piece setup this band always out performs.
Lead vocalists and creator, Leslie Adele is a powerhouse. She presents powerful vocals and emotional performances, every word is emphasized and every note is hit. What is wonderful about this lead singer is that it does not matter if it is a cover song or one of her original tracks; you are going to get the best out of Leslie no matter what!

The conception of Leslie Adele and A Nickel Bag of Funk happened on a wing and a dare on July 4^th, 2005. Leslie who was a waitress at the time at the North Beach Grill on Tybee Island, GA was dared to go on stage and sing. Never being one to back down Leslie jumped up and belted out “Superstitious” by Stevie Wonder, she finished that night with double tips and motivation to start a band.

The immediate future for A Nickel Bag of Funk and Leslie is to keep touring and performing, having performed over 300 performances in the past year. This is truly the busiest little band in the South East. The end goal for this band is to release a solid collection of original music that reflects the band’s musical voice as well as array of talent.
