About Lef-Tweed Project
The Lef-Tweed Project is a powerful collaboration between two talented musicians: Leftee and Tumbleweed. The name reflects their unique partnership—Lef standing for Leftee, known for his high-energy drumming and socially conscious songwriting, and Tweed representing Tumbleweed, a renowned blues harp player and songwriter. Together, they fuse their musical backgrounds into a dynamic mix of blues, rock, reggae, and jazz, creating a sound that’s raw, authentic, and full of soul.
Leftee, well-known as the drummer for the reggae-rock band ThreePeace, brings his signature precise yet groove-driven drumming to the project, drawing comparisons to Stewart Copeland of The Police. He adds his multi-instrumental talents to the mix, providing bass, vocals, and songwriting that shape the core of the Lef-Tweed Project’s sound. His powerful rhythms and dedication to meaningful music are at the heart of the project, combining with Tumbleweed’s blues sensibility to create something unique.
Tumbleweed is the other half of the duo, known for his soulful blues harp playing, gritty guitar work, and heartfelt songwriting. Drawing from influences like Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tumbleweed’s harmonica and guitar give the project its bluesy edge. Together with Leftee, the two craft a sound that blends the storytelling power of blues with the infectious energy of reggae and rock.
The Lef-Tweed Project’s debut album, Fully Leaded in Flint, is a reflection of the city’s resilience and struggles, with themes of social justice, survival, and unity. The album is deeply rooted in the working-class experience, with powerful lyrics and soulful instrumentation that convey the hardships and hope of communities like Flint, Michigan. Drawing from a rich array of musical influences, the album represents the duo’s commitment to creating music that resonates with authenticity and depth.
