Leon Laudenbach is a singer/songwriter from St cloud, MN.  He has been performing his original compositions throughout the upper Midwest for over 30 years.  Leon was in a number of musical groups in the area, most notably: “Taboo Blue” and “The Buddwa Mambos”.  He worked with a number of individual artists as well, including New Orleans native Willie West, playing blues fests throughout the area.  An upcoming project of his will be based off a book he wrote called “Mother Pearl’s Love Letters” which will soon be staged as a musical. 

Tom Tchumper’s love of music came at an early age listening to his dad’s 3 piece country band.  At 7th grade his dad’s drummer quit the band so his dad bought him a drum set and told him he had 2 weeks to learn as he would now be playing with them.  Tom played in a number of bands while attending school in St Cloud.  Notable country groups that he was involved in were “Countrified”, “Steel Rail”, “The Humbuckers” and he was also a founding member of the group “Diamondback”.  National acts he warmed up for included Kitty Wells, David Allen Coe and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
