Bio
Legionnaires is a Cincinnati rock supergroup of sorts. Included in the lineup are former members of Crosley, The Breakers, Clabbergirl, and Saving Ray. Combined, the members of Legionnaires have won two CAMMY Awards, showcased at Midpoint Music Festival every year since its inception, and have played at virtually every venue in the midwest, in addition to brief stints in Europe. The members have shared the stage with Rilo Kiley, John Mayer, The Sheila Divine, Super Drag, Nada Surf, The Knack, MOTH, Barenaked Ladies, Howie Day, The Moldy Peaches, and numerous other national and regional acts.
In terms of sound, listeners should know that Legionnaires are not afraid of melody. The band does not sacrifice melody for the sake of being "indie". Legionnaires also draw heavily from classic country and alt-country influences, while achieving a mod sound with the aid of synth hooks and layered guitar work.
Songwriting is the greatest strength of the band, everything else comes to life organically. If you like good songs, you will like Legionnaires.
