Mike Leslie joins The Outfit as the band’s new lead singer/guitar player. The singer/songwriter previously played guitar and toured with the multi-platinum artist Candlebox.
The Outfit states, “We had a great four years with lead singer Andy Mitchell, but due to personal reasons Andy has decided to leave the band. We wish him the best. We are excited to welcome Mike Leslie to The Outfit. Mike is extremely talented, and we look forward to adding his dynamic vocal ability and guitar playing to the band.”
