Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter, Leeroy Stagger, is bringing his latest album to 琉璃神社 on Nov. 1.

To say that the Alberta musician鈥檚 life journey has followed a strange path would be a bit of an understatement. 17 years as a singer-songwriter and 10 years sober, with kids, a home in Lethbridge, Alberta and a world-class recording studio to go with it, he鈥檚 far removed from the hard-living twenty-something who started on his musical path in the B.C. punk space.

In a nod to his 鈥榮trange path鈥�, that is the name of the album Stagger is touring. It is currently seeing significant airplay with his first single from the record, the glam-rock blissed out 鈥淪trange Attractor,鈥� hitting number 1 on the CKUA radio charts and staying in the top 20 on the CBC National Charts, climbing as high as number three ahead of the likes of Tegan and Sara, HAIM, Walk Off the Earth and The New Pornographers.

Strange Path is full of sharp hooks and sharper insight and 鈥淪trange Attractor鈥� rides that line right to the end.

鈥淣othing is ever permanent when you really stop and think,鈥� said Stagger.

鈥淭he home we live in, the car we drive, the children we raise, the art we make and the skin that we鈥檙e in. It鈥檚 not forever it鈥檚 barely real, and that鈥檚 ok to me because I鈥檝e been shown the truth of it all. Seeing that it鈥檚 not that big of a deal, this has shown me how beautiful it all is. It鈥檚 precious, impermanent and beautiful. Strange Sector is about the unseen nature of impermanence and the sacredness of the life we live.鈥�

Stagger is performing at the Mary Irwin Theatre at downtown 琉璃神社鈥檚 Rotary Centre for Arts. Tickets for the event are $25, rising to $30 on the day of the show. Tickets can be purchased .
