Kirk Baxley brings an unmatched intensity as the lead vocalist. His four time nomination for Best Frontman/Male Vocal Performance by the Dallas Observer proves that Baxley is a very driven, energetic and passionate personality. As a classically trained vocalist, he performed in front of an audience in the first grade and has been entertaining on stage ever since. At the age of 16, Kirk joined his second band called Plumbline, in which he played percussion and guitar and sang background vocals. Two members of Plumbline and Kirk decided to branch off and form their very own band entitled Unveiled. This band would be the foundation laid for the musical and spiritual experiences to come. The Kirk Baxley Band began to play events and eventually changed the band name to Sterling, which eventually became Lesermor. Lesermor recorded a three song demo and two live cuts with Pushmonkey's very own Will Hoffman, and in late spring 2000, Lesermor was approached and eventually signed by Brando Records, a large independent label and Rainmaker Artists management group. During this phase, Lesermor changed their name to Greatness in Tragedy. Greatness in Tragedy released a self titled debut album produced by David Castell. A highlight track included was "give" which was produced by Blue October's very own, Justin Furstenfield. Kirk in turn is featured on Blue October’s latest Universal release Foiled- Track 10 : “Drill the Wire Through My Cheekâ€. Kirk has been fortunate enough to have shared the stage with many amazing musicians and bands including: Blue October, Zayra Alvarez, Flyleaf, Vallejo, Pushmonkey, Gin Blossoms, Soul Asylum, the Feds, SouthFm, Flickerstick, the Vanished, Bowling for Soup, Edgewater, Endochine, Radiant, Burden Brothers, Copeland, Eisley, The Scabs, Bob Schneider and many more...
Kirk would like to say Thank You and that it is more than a blessing to have known so many incredible friends and fans through the years. Any continued support would be greatly appreciated and any prayers are needed, thank you...
