Left End plans ‘Final Ride’ at Powers
Local favorites Left End will play what is being billed as its “Final Ride” on Oct. 10 at Powers Auditorium.
Left End was one of the most popular Mahoning Valley bands in the 1970s. Packed clubs and local radio support led to a record deal with Polydor Records, which released the band’s album “Spoiled Rotten” in 1973.
Original songs such as “Bad Talkin’ Lady,” “Sunshine Girl” and “Cyclone Rider” received extensive airplay on local radio.
Lead singer Dennis Sesonsky, whose stage name was Dennis T. Menass, died in 2014. The surviving members — Pat Palombo, drums; Tom Figinsky, lead guitar and backing vocals; Jim Puhalla, rhythm guitar; and Roy Guerrieri, bass and backing vocals — joined by Dave Lemasters (who played with the band in the 1980s) on guitar, Leanne Binder on backing vocals and Michael Lawrence on lead vocals reunited for their first show together in nearly 20 years in 2023 at Packard Music Hall.
A second reunion date played the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre in 2024. The same lineup will perform in October at Powers.
Tickets start at $29.50 plus fees and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the DeYor Performing Arts Center box office and through Ticketmaster.
