"When are you going to stop singing about genitals?" - Lefty's mom

"Lefty and his bandmates are muscular players, moving through the abs and delts of a riff-heavy country-rock tune with style." - Fateema Sayani, The Ottawa Citizen

"...like a Legion party band from the mid-seventies... one raised on Stompin' Tom and who may have a few Ramones 8-tracks in their Chevy Malibu." - Boy Howdy, The Nerve Magazine

"Turns Country into a four-letter word." - Darryl Sterdan, Winnipeg Sun

Lefty McRighty has been performing locally mostly, and on the road whenever someone'll have him, and has only been blacklisted from 3 Ottawa clubs so far. His brand of music: irreverent old-time country and western. Sometimes he's got a band, sometimes it's a solo show, sometimes it's somewhere in between. Lefty's got a self-titled album under his belt, recorded in 2006 with the help of his good friends The Boxcar Cadavers, and will be releasing a new album in the not-too-distant future featuring new insta-classics such as There's No Cold Beer in Hell, Blood Flows Quicker Than Gravy (about the great poutine war of '54), and Too Late To Quit Drinking Now.

Lefty's sometimes-backup band is made up of some of Ottawa's finest and most experienced country veterans. On lead guitar is Lefty's father-in-law, Ray Harris (Ray Harris and the Bastard Sons Of Bitches, Sunbleached Skulls). On drums is Ernie Legend (Mike Plume Band, The Populars, Ninety Pounds of Ugly). On bass is the busiest musician in Ottawa, Stand-up Steve Donnelly (Kingmakers, Jimmy George, Ninety Pounds of Ugly, Friends of Steve, Laguna, Ray Harris and the Bastard Sons of Bitches - see, toldja). Recently added to the lineup: Ryan Barwin on bitchin' lap steel and other slidey things.
