Leah Siegel

Show Description

“As soon as I heard Little Mule, I looked at (Producer) Kim, and it was like goosebump time. Because you don’t hear that special thing hitting you over the head immediately, all that often. You know?” - Vin Scelsa, (Host WFUV 90.7FM, Idiot’s Delight)

 
Leah Siegel, New York City singer-songwriter, is a seamless powerhouse of contradictions: at once hopelessly raw and yet elegantly composed, bombastic while intimate, contemporary and classic. She is blessed with a voice that whispers in your ear one moment and rips the roof off the next.

Playing frequently in Manhattan and Brooklyn for the past five years, Siegel has developed an intense and devoted NYC fan base, drawn in by knockout vocal talent that draws influences from Judy Garland and Billy Holiday, with oft- drawn comparisons to Jeff Buckley; paired with heart- wrenching and dark, yet subtly humorous lyrics, a four piece rock band of stellar local musicians and her own impressive guitar technique, Siegel has earned an unmatched reputation for startling live performances.
