    Artist History
    With many years of experience in the L.A."Rock Scene",and suprisingly all cuerrent members maintaining a valid California drivers license,the project was conceived in 1995 as guitarist Mike Morris began a search for serious minded team players. Jon Wilson who originally donated all of his musical equipment to Mike's home studio was eventually through persuasion/coersion convinced to become member number two,the fulltime bass player. With the added passion of rock drummer Brian Resh and the high tenor vocals of Robert Singletary the first recorded production of "Leonards Yard" was released in 1996. Not long after the release of their first "CD" the band was approached by an energetic nut with a heart of gold... Val Comsa. Assisted by his partner in crime Dakota Michaels, the band entered a joint venture to produce the "M.O.V.E." album. The M.O.V.E. organization was a political activist group against the justice system going to damn easy on harsh criminals. As the band moved forward a search began for an "alternative lead vocalist" to give the tunes a more original modern sound. After many auditions and the singers come and singers go experience, Mike Morris decided to step up and fully develope his own personal lead vocal style. During this process,Italian Stallion Pino Mele was brouht aboard as the new drummer bringing an original rythmic twist. Through many years of growth, change and a never ending belief in the value of the music, the band has just released it's finest recorded production to date, with the added genius of Producer Scott Mathews. Scott is very selective in whom he chooses to work with. As a result of Mr. Mathews hearing cuts from the "Leonards Yard"(industry samplings), specifically the cuts with Morris on the vocals, a door was opened and Leonard walked through it. As self contained artist and the added talent of Scott Mathews, "lead band Producer" The History of Leonards Yard has just begun.
