The Headers
![]() The Headers, from snowy Buffalo, have been called "High Octane Rockabillies." Their show is a lot of fun, with a danceable mix of originals, covers and antics that remind (some of) us of the days of the sock hop, with a little jazz, country, chicken pickin', and rock thrown in. The band has earned nominations in the last six Buffalo Music Awards competitions, three well-received CDs, and plenty of local, regional, and national airplay. Featured at shows with over 20,000 screaming fans, these cats are a party looking for a place to happen. They tore it up in Tampa as one of the headliners for 2010 Rockabilly Ruckus, and the band was asked back for a second year at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, this time as a headliner. All of The Headers CDs feature the songwriting talents of Bobby Lebel. The Sun Studio-inspired " Take no prisoners - two mikes in the room - do it in one take - with no overdubs" approach they use in producing their CDs really captures the intense energy of a Headers show. If their act doesn't make you run - not walk -- to the dance floor, buy a hotrod jalopy or run out to find a hula-hoop, then you better check your pulse. Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Bobby Lebel is The Headers' frontman. Gretsch endorsee, former road alumni and an inductee in the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, Bobby's numerous album projects have earned him notoriety and a record deal in Italy. He has jammed with such greats as Edgar Winter and band members of Ted Nugent, Chick Corea and Robben Ford. He has backed up stars like Kathie Lee Gifford and opened shows for Rare Earth, America, Three Dog Night, Head East, Twisted Sister and James Cotton. Drummer Dan Stoll is a veteran stickman who has spent the last decade and a half teamed up with his brother in the Stoll Brothers Band. Scott Freilich is The Headers' upright bassman and Buffalo Music Hall of Fame inductee, and he has played with Weather Report, Herbie Hancock and Ani DiFranco and the Boinger Band.
