About Me

I am Les Boyko a Florida native and grew up in the small town of Trilby. I write all of my own material and to date, I have always played all of the instruments on my recordings. Music, especially "live" music, is my passion in life. Playing music has always been my natural high.

I started laying tracks and recording my original songs that have floated around for years. From an old farmhouse in England, to a hotel in Paris or a remote corner of my home, the songs have been tapped from the well and continues to surface. I had the honor to sit in as a regular on the late Dave Fiester's jam sessions on the Space Coast of Florida around 2001. Playing in small clubs among the greatness of Dave and Mark Glisson of the Groove Monsters, was a life altering experience in the most positive sense. I presently live in the northwest and I continue to compose my own songs.
I can’t tell you how exciting it has been to have met so many new, interesting and talented friends. I ask you all to check out my friends profiles. They all are very interesting and there is some music that will knock your socks off!!I am not performing, at least at this time. I just want to get my music out in case I get hit by a bus and I hope you will enjoy the music...not me getting hit by a bus.
I could not imagine a world without music. ‘You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one’…ah.. not my words, but John Lennon said it well didn’t he? Okay, enough of me. Again, please check out my friends, they have some great sights and sounds. All the Best.
Peace.
Les

Sounds Like: If you can get past my voice you know, like the 'you can't see the forest for the trees' thing, from what I've been told; I sound like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton (yeah right). I pretty much try to sound like me...sorry guys.
