Leslie R.
Field Marshall / Community Outreach Coordinator
Leslie is our run around town marketer who makes sure every nook and cranny of the Metrowest knows about our events.
Leslie's love of music started at a very young age listening to 1940's swing music with her Dad. She bought her first album at the age of 8 and continues to embrace old and new music. Listening to a live concert is still a favorite past time - 300+ concerts under her belt so far - and now it's time to give back by volunteering at the Niagara Coffee Haus and introducing folks to the local music scene.
