—LEIGH LESHO—Folk-inspired singer-songwriter Leigh Lesho is a storyteller and a visionary, leading us to find and treasure our voice, our path, and our joy in a world riddled with suffering. Born of a winding cosmic calling and a deep reverence for sound as a link to the divine, her music is not breathtaking, but giving, casting healing spells and bringing its listeners to life. Encompassing a wide range of genres from folk-rock to americana and alt-country and a voice that demands attention, Leigh’s lyric-driven work is reminiscent of legends like Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, Joan Baez, and her muse, Tori Amos. The haunting melodies of the desert invoke a familiar backdrop where acoustic meets electric and music meets eternal

Join us for an enchanting evening under the stars, as Leigh Lesho and her friends serenade you with musical stories about love, life, and the human pursuit of soul liberation.

Leigh Ann Lesho is a singer-songwriter, devoted mother, wife, and yogi from Tucson. She released her first solo album titled "444" in 2016 by the name Leigh Lesho, followed by a sophomore concept album titled "Akasha" in 2018. She was raised as an athlete, and went on to pitch for the University of Nebraska softball team before playing professionally in the United States, Spanish, and Italian leagues. She refers to herself as a being a "closet musician" through those early years and looked forward to the chapter where she would embark on this magical musical journey. Sometimes solo, and sometimes with as many as seven other players, she performs under the name "Leigh Lesho & The Great Light", which is a reference to the relationship between the eternal spirit and the human self/ego.
