Hero & Leander

Hero & Leander, a British six-piece outfit blending male and female lead vocals, crafts literate and tuneful pop. The group originated in Essex during 2010, presenting vocalist/violinist Emily Sills, vocalist/guitarist Gary Cansell, pianist Andrew Jones, guitarist Marc Sephton, bassist James Halls, and drummer Scott Lewis. Their output blends melodic closeness with a Baroque sensibility drawn from musical theater traditions. The ensemble put out its first album, Tumble, in 2013.
