The Leftovers are a three-piece blues rock band that first came together about 9 years ago. Its members came from several bands from the area that had parted ways - hence the name The Leftovers.
The group started out as a five-piece band, but in recent years, vocalist Cassandra Roxanne switched to bass, and the band evolved into a power trio, performing original blues/rock as well as a variety of cover material ranging from blues and rock to country and Southern rock. “Reheat and Serve,” Released April 30, 2009 was their first CD release.
The Band:
D. Logan Foster – Guitar/Vocals
Hometown: Iva, S.C.
DOB: Feb. 18, 1962
D. Logan Foster was born with a guitar in his hands. His mom, Irene Foster, taught him his first chords on the instrument, and the rest is history. He has been playing guitar professionally since he was a teenager and has been a part of several bands over the years.
A member of ASCAP, he is also a prolific songwriter, contributing most of the original material performed by The Leftovers. He has several solo CDs, including, "319008," "Something in the Water," "Mystery Ship," Black Ankle Boogie," and "Wild and Crazy Aura for a Cuban Eel's Face."
Foster teaches guitar, banjo and fiddle at Poco Music in Easley, S.C. He is married to the band's bass player, Cassandra Roxanne. The couple lives in Easley, S.C.
Bennie Bee – Drums
Hometown: Dewey Rose, Ga.
DOB: Aug. 4, 1962
Bennie was born in West Virginia and raised in Ohio. He started playing drums at the young age of 11, taking private lessons and continued playing throughout high school. Bennie had the privilege of opening for country acts like Kenny Rogers, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Russell, the Gatlin Brothers and Carlene Carter.
Along with playing with the band, he is also a sound technician, running sound for acts such as Ken Mellons, Confederate Railroad, Billy Joe Royal and Ricochet.
Bennie lives in Dewey Rose, Ga. with his wife Tammy Bee. The couple has three children.
Cassandra Roxanne – Bass/Vocals
Hometown: Pickens, S.C.
DOB: July 1, 1968
Cassandra Roxanne, aka Sandy Foster, has been singing on stages since she was a small child. She started working with local bands at the age of 20, about the time she learned to play rhythm guitar. About four years ago, she picked up the bass.
Cassandra is married to Leftover guitarist D. Logan Foster. She is also a member of ASCAP and contributes to the group's original song list. She has one solo CD, "The Sandbox," and has provided backup vocals on albums for other CRT Music recording artists.
Cassandra comes from a long line of musicians and makers of fine instruments. When not playing music, she works as a newspaper reporter, editor and manager in Upstate, South Carolina.
Her pride and joy are her two grown daughters Selena and Jessica, and her three grandchildren.

 RadioIndy is pleased to present The Leftovers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Reheat and Serve "
Classic power-trio rock driven by the kind of fiery and blistering guitar flourishes that defines the genre is the order of the day on The Leftovers fine new CD, “Reheat and Serve.” Alternately flashing the kind of licks a fan of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, or Stevie Ray Vaughan would drool over, veteran rocker D. Logan Foster leads a 3-piece band through a 9-song workout of blues fire and rock dynamics with drama and flair. With wife Cassandra Roxanne (Bass) and Bennie Bee (drums) proving a rock-solid and inventive rhythm section, classic blues rock gets a makeover on the Santana-inflected “Simple Woman” while the Southern chug of “Your Eyes Give You Away” are right out of the Lynyrd Skynyrd playbook. CD-opener, “Let’s Do It Again” surges with a Hendrix-like fury as Foster’s slashing chops cuts through the song like lightning bolts. But in the best of power-trio traditions (e.g., Cream, Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer), sheer sonic power is often tempered in service of the song, as on the closer, “Mississippi Blues,” a blues shuffle that features Foster’s earthy and down-home vocals to best effect. Classic by design and execution, The Leftovers CD, “Reheat and Serve” is anything but warmed-over: instead, it’s a vibrant and charged tasting of blues-rock that will always have a place on the classic rock menu. -Rice B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
