LEA is more than just a singer/songwriter. She is a visionary who brings uplifting, thought provoking, positive music to venues as diverse as arts centers, universities, festivals, coffeehouses, nightclubs, shelters, schools and places of contemplation and worship. With powerful vocals and dynamic guitar work, LEA seamlessly blends gospel, jazz, country and R&B into her own brand of “feel-good” contemporary Soul-folk.\r \r A troubadour in the tradition of Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman and Bonnie Raitt, LEA has shared the stage with luminaries including Dar Williams, Anthony Hamilton, and Mavis Staples. She has been presented at The Strathmore, Kennedy Center, Birchmere, and Wolf Trap in Washington, DC, as well as many clubs and Kulturvereine in Germany. Her central focus is on using her musical talents to facilitate community building and self-expression in young and young at heart.
