If you're a musician, Shane Leonard is a guy you want on your side. He not only plays drums, guitar, banjo, piano (and other instruments he hasn't mentioned yet), but he writes, sings and produces music, too. Shane has worked with enough Radio Heartland artists to fill a few shelves in our library, like Mipso, The Stray Birds, Rose Cousins and lots more. Plus, he's got his own material from previous records by Kalispell and Field Report, just to name a few.

Shane has a new solo record out now called Strange Forms, and he will be playing some songs live from it Friday, July 19, at the Warming House in Minneapolis, where Shane also asked some friends to join him to play some of their music as well.

Shane Leonard stopped by the studio to chat and to play DJ for bit this week in advance of his show.
