The World's Most Dangerous "PARTY" Band
Bio Page

Jeff Leep
Jeff is an event entertainment expert and a fine musician. From a musical family, he started classical training at the age of five in the Chicago suburbs. He continued through music school at the University of Louisville, Kentucky and played with the Louisville Orchestra. Having mastered the bassoon, his first love was classical music, yet he found a need to learn to improvise, and in 1975 he started playing contemporary pop, rock, country and jazz on sax and flute. He also sings strong lead pop vocals, and has been a successful band leader for over 20 years. After leading bands in Colorado, in 1986, Jeff and his wife Linda moved to Nevada. Soon after, they established their original business,'The Jeff Leep Orchestras', - several theme bands featuring Jeff as leader/emcee. As the Orchestras gained in popularity, they saw the need to offer other types of entertainment. In 1993, they formed Leep Entertainment Agency-a full service, one-stop-shop for all kinds of entertainment including Mobile DJs, Karaoke and other professional entertainers. The company motto is"We Book the Best & We Have the Variety". Jeff has found Reno to be a wonderful place to do business, and also full of opportunities to revive his classical music career. He is now the principal bassoonist in the Reno Philharmonic, and also performs with other classical groups somewhere between his own bookings with Leep Entertainment. Once in a while you may even catch him playing wild electric bassoon in one of the local jazz clubs.

A multi-talented guy, Paul is also able to play bass with his left hand! He is a 'special request specialist', since he knows so many songs from every era. A fine pianist, he also enjoys providing solo entertainment for any event.

Lin Phillips
Leep Entertainment is very pleased to represent Lin Phillips, an extraordinary guitar player. Originally from Portland Oregon, Lin started playing in honkytonks with several groups at the age of fourteen. Whenever he had a chance to play, he would always jump right in and learn the style, which explains his vast knowledge of repertoire. Though experience has been his main teacher, Lin has been influenced by such guitarists as Wes Montgomery, Ed Bickert, George Benson, and the great Joe Pass. Lin has played with countless country and rock bands in his career and has also developed a love for jazz, making him a master of versatility. He joined the Wray Brothers Band and recorded two albums, one with PolyGram Records. Playing exclusively at the Peppermill and the Western Village, Lin quickly became well known in the Reno-Sparks area. Since then, Lin has opened for many wonderful acts including jazz great Herb Ellis and Flamenco legend Carlos Montoya. He also performed shows with the Lettermen and played locally with singer/entertainer Zella Lehr. One of his most recent achievements is his brilliant new CD entitled 'A Weaver of Dreams' which emulates the style he most loves to play. An original member of 'The World's Most Dangerous PARTY Band!', Lin presently works as lead guitarist with Leep Entertainment in many capacities.
