Leroy from the North
Troubadour9081 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles 90069
Leroy from the North plays the Troubadour on January 8. The bill presents the Los Angeles based group as an Americana and rock band, drawing its character from 1970s country gold and what it calls “a little Detroit steel.” No additional performers, special guests, release celebration, or other program details are listed, so the focus is squarely on the band’s own set.
Based in Los Angeles, Leroy from the North works in a deliberately stylized take on Americana rock: the venue’s description likens the band to “a velour track suit with a Cowboy hat,” with references to dune buggies, the YMCA, and above-ground pools that suggest a playful, retro-conscious frame around its country and rock influences. Beyond that portrait, the available information does not name members, previous collaborators, recordings, or critical coverage. What is clear is the band’s stated musical starting point: 1970s country sounds brought together with Detroit-steel toughness.
The Troubadour’s claim to fame is written into pop history: Elton John made his American debut here in 1970, and the musicians who became the Eagles met around the club. It remains an active West Hollywood live-music venue, with current concerts listed at its Santa Monica Boulevard address. Expect a ticketed show in a compact club room, with a bar and a small kitchen serving burgers, sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fries. Seating depends on the event; where it is limited, the venue says it is generally first come, first served, so check your show’s details before arriving. Doors typically open an hour before the performance, and most shows finish between 11 p.m. and midnight, though timing varies. The venue sits near Doheny Drive, on a stretch of West Hollywood with nearby bars and restaurants.
