Who?
What's Left is a collaboration of four music veterans with over a century of combined performance experience. Over the years, band members have been seen performing in New York, Cleveland, San Antonio, Baltimore, Boston, California, St. Louis, and Muncie, Indiana. Formed in 2006, they now dish out a musical goulash of jazz, mo-town, blues, alternative rock, and R&B to over-stimulated audiences in Northern Vermont and New York.
Christine "Left Bank" Stone is an accomplished vocalist with roots in R&B and soul music who has recently ventured into movies as the star of the Vermont-made feature-length film, "Not Totally Naked." Trained in Boston and Baltimore, she moved to Milton in 2002 "for the excitement" and has been providing it ever since. Chris not only sings, she plays guitar and composes some of the band's most popular pieces. Her life-long ambition is to be a short-order cook in an Edward Hopper painting.
Andrew "Left Behind" Albright is a classically-trained upright bassist who doubles on electric bass and cello. His musical goal is to "trash a hotel room in Vegas after the second set backing up Liberace." (Please don't tell him that Liberace died in '87.) He can play any style of music, but it all sounds like "The Elephant" from Saint-Saëns' Le Carnaval des Animaux.
Douglas "Left Out" Pomeroy is a long-time Vermonter who has drummed with rockers, jazzers, bluesers and boozers in every dive in three states. His deep commitment to music is exemplified by his specially modified drum set that enables him to pack up quickly after the gig while there are still girls hanging around the stage. When asked by police why he was banging his head against a phone pole on Church Street, he replied, "Everything is percussion, man!"
Ben "Left of Center" Littenberg is a guitarist and frustrated singer. (His friends cannot explain why he is not frustrated by his guitar playing.) Although well-known for his penchant for rapid (and uncalled for) key changes, his greatest claim to musical fame is his ability to sing bawdy lyrics to the tune of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik." He does not give interviews.
