BRENNEN LEIGH
Brennen Leigh is an American artist whose classic storytelling style has created a cult following across the USA and Europe. Often deeply moving and regularly hilarious, her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Charley Crockett, and many others.
Her 2022 album, Obsessed With The West, is a heartfelt homage to the classic western swing sound, recorded with the masters of the genre, Asleep At The Wheel. It followed up the acclaimed Prairie Love Letter, a powerfully emotional exploration of her rural, mid-western roots.
Rooted in vintage country, her latest release Ain’t Through Honky Tonkin’ Yet, is an unapologetically beer and tear-soaked homage to the late 60’s when hard-country weepers burst forth from AM transistor radios. Awash in full-throttle fiddle and weeping steel guitar, featuring Rodney Crowell and Marty Stuart and anchored by her warm, expressive voice, the album’s country roots run deep.
“Brennen can outplay, outsing and outwrite just about anybody” Charley Crockett
“Ain’t Through Honky Tonkin’ Yet can stand proudly alongside many of those treasures, so dear to Leigh’s heart, that emerged from Nashville during that period… superb album.” Lonesome Highway
“A wonderfully entertaining set employing only her heavenly voice, (and) some impressive acoustic guitar playing” Americana UK, June 2023
