Leigh Rowan Duo

As you might imagine, this Texas girl grew up singing all kinds of country music. Starting around the age of seven, Leigh spent her weekends as a young girl touring the Texas Opry circuit. She performed regularly at the Irving Opry, the Kaufman Opry, the Wylie Opry, the Terrell Opry and even the legendary Johnnie High’s Country Music Revue, among many others.

At seventeen years old, Leigh scored some regular gigs at a couple of piano bars in Dallas; just herself and some pre-recorded backing music. It was there that she realized she might be onto something with this singing thing. On to Nashville.

During her shows, Leigh always performs a wide range of originals and also cover music where it’s desired. Her writing currently lends itself to more of a heartfelt, country/Americana feel. But she has plenty of variety in her sets to please all types of audiences, and she regularly receives praise about her song selection.

Leigh’s vocal influences (whom she calls her ‘teachers’, as she honed her craft and taught herself to sing by listening to these artists) include Bonnie Raitt, Patty Griffin, Trisha Yearwood, the Wreckers, Aretha Franklin, Patsy Cline, Etta James, Ruthie Foster, Bekka Bramlett, Reba McIntire, Joss Stone, the Dixie Chicks, Susan Tedeschi, Shania Twain, Adele, Lady Gaga, the Judds, Martina McBride, Norah Jones and Paul Thorn among many, many others…….
