Every once in a while an artist comes along who reminds us that good music often defies categories and transcends artificial boundaries. Leesa Richards is one of those artists. Writing insightful and thoughtful songs with clever comments on love, society and life, Leesa weaves them into musical spells that she delivers with an emotional urgency that sometimes seduces and sometimes scolds. She has a unique way of telling stories of love and the pain, pleasure and compromises it demands. But her observations aren't limited; her concerns extend to the setting of our lives, the places and the ways we live.
Audiences are enthralled by the tall, graceful and strikingly beautiful woman who can keep a room completely still when she sings as if she were whispering to each individual in the house. But it's not the quiet they come for; fans of Ms. Richards know that they won't have to wait long before she has the house sweating as they watch one of the most soulful rockin' performances they'll ever witness. She is the ultimate mix of raw energy and elegant sophistication. Whether it is love or pain or both, the stories and the music that pour out of this wonderful new artist will move you and leave you wanting more.
