Leer Bros. Band    
The Leer Brothers Band was made up of former members of Mel Wynn & The Rhythm Aces, The Rhythm Blues, North American Bear, and others.

They played clubs, colleges, high schools, concerts, proms, dances, frat /sorority parties and formals from 1969 to 1983. They also made records for Intrepid, Mercury and Buddah.
