In 2016, Little Lesley & the Bloodshots signed with Western Star Records of the UK. Alan Wilson recorded and produced their “Doin’ Fine” EP which is still in regular rotation on BBC radio. In 2017 Little Lesley & the Bloodshots moved from Brooklyn to Greenville SC, quickly making waves and making friends.

PEACE BROADWAY: TOOTSIE
Jan 4 @ 7:30 pm
Peace Concert Hall

Call it “musical comedy heaven” (Rolling Stone). Call it “the most uproarious new musical in years!” (The Hollywood Reporter). Call it Tootsie!

This laugh-out-loud love letter to the theater tells the story of Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime. Featuring a hilarious Tony®-winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony winner David Yazbek (The Band’s VisitDirty Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines, it should be called a jokebox musical!” (Bloomberg). “In these turbulent times, when the world seems out of balance, we need a place to let the good times roll,” raves Rolling Stone. “Tootsie is it!”
