thisisLEA Folk Singer from Alexandria, VA

LEA is a singer and songwriter whose “soul-folk” blends gospel, jazz, country and R&B with authentic, thought provoking songcraft. Often compared to Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell and Ani DiFranco, LEA has shared the stage with luminaries including Dar Williams, Anthony Hamilton, Vivian Green, Mavis Staples and Odetta. Why hire LEA? Whether you're celebrating a pre-schooler's birthday, 50th anniversary, your own big day or the passing of a loved one, you want an eclectic, sensitive artist with years of experience to bring just the right touch, musically and personally. A favorite of Strathmore Discovery Festival Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, LEA has been repeatedly recognized by the Washington Area Music Association as "one of the area's best female vocalists, songwriters and artists." LEA's original music is Soul-Folk (a la Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Bonnie Raitt). She also excels at performing nearly every popular genre, including: jazz, pop, country, r&b, rock, reggae and gospel.
