In the Spring of 2024, two singer-songwriters met up at Las Palapas to discuss plans for writing a children's album. These two songwriters came from various musical backgrounds. Leroy Esparza is a 5X Grammy Nominee in the Tejano Music world and also owns a very successful music lessons store. Eddie Cavazos is a veteran of 35 years in the Elementary Music classroom, a 2X 2025 Catholic Music Awards nominee as well as an accomplished composer in the Choral Music world.
Fast forward to Fall 2025, Leroy & Eddie aka ‘The Backyard Bucketlist Bandits Band’ are ready to release their debut EP, featuring five original songs. The songs feature various styles such as Rock, Ballad & Blues with lyrics focusing on positive themes such as kindness, friendship, positive self-esteem and perseverance. Most of the tracks are guitar driven with amazing orchestration by Josh Cavazos. The ‘Chasing Rainbows’ project was recorded at Lost In Sound Studio in Helotes, TX and engineered by Dave Brown.
