LEA’s authentic, uplifting, thought provoking and positive voice lends itself well to quality kindierock, or music for little people as she calls it. Every member of the family will appreciate her seamless blend of gospel, jazz, country and R&B into her own style—SoulFolk—drawing comparisons to Tracy Chapman’s earthy folk, Joni Mitchell’s exquisite songcraft, and Ani DiFranco’s inventive guitar playing and dynamic delivery. LEA has shared the stage with luminaries including Odetta, Mavis Staples, Dar Williams and Anthony Hamilton. She performs around the world at venues as diverse as arts centers, universities, festivals, coffeehouses, nightclubs, vineyards, and places of worship. With seven full-length albums already available, and a recording career spanning over a decade, LEA is repeatedly acknowledged by the Washington Area Music Association as one of the region’s best vocalists, songwriters and recording artists. She is also a graduate of the prestigious Artist-in-Residence program at The Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, Md. To book in advance at this initmate venue, go to fndtnarts.com/events.
