Are you ready to rock?!
When a teenage Leo Rossi was asked that question in the early Seventies, his only answer was “Hell yes!”
It turned out that rock n’ roll was Leo’s ticket to a new life and a passport to see the world.
While still in high school in San Pedro, CA, Leo took a job doing lighting at a nearby arena that happened to host every major rock act of the day: from Led Zeppelin, to the Who, to Alice Cooper and more.
Soon, the visiting road crews took notice of this kid who not only worked hard, but worked cheap. They took him on the road, and the rest is history.
In a career that spanned four decades, Leo graduated from lighting to tour manager for Fleetwood Mac, The Beach Boys, Bette Midler, Al Jarreau, Billy Idol, and more.
From procuring military planes in Australia, to playing segregated South Africa, and surviving wild plane rides over the Alps, Leo has seen it all on the road.
Not only does he share his Tales here, but you can find him these days on cruise ships and other live speaking events to promote Knights Of Rock, his charity organization he founded after the death of his son.
It was honor to meet Leo and hear his story. Turn it up to 11!
