The LeftOvers

 

 


I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society, 

except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, 

old men and women warmer in the winter, and happier in the summer.

The LeftOvers established a following throughout Western New York in 2001. With music ranging from popular drinking songs to the historical and poignant rebel songs of Irish past, the LeftOvers offer a large variety of rebel tunes and ballads. They drink a lot, they tell bad jokes, and they won’t play songs that make you think too much. The band was founded by Jerry Shea and Pat Gerken, under the philosophy that good music will always bring people together. Joined by piper Ryan Young, bassist Dave Pruski,  percussionist Greg Kent, and singer Elizabeth Shea, the LeftOvers offer something for every Celtic heart.

 The LeftOvers are....

Jerry Shea: Guitars, vocals, bad jokes, Pat Gerken: Guitar, vocals, really bad jokes, Elizabeth Shea: Vocals and....yeah, that's pretty much it, Ryan Young: Bagpipes, vocals, kilts, whiskey....really bad combination, Dave Pruski: bass and wild outfits, Greg Kent: bodhran and beer.
