About Sawyer Brown: Sawyer Brown’s live shows are legendary. Having been described as “the Rolling Stones of Country Music,” the band bounds onto the stage night after night, delivering its own unique brand of high-energy entertainment. That excitement has been on display since the very first time Sawyer Brown stepped foot onstage in the early eighties. Over the years and over 4500 shows (and counting), the band has earned its place as one of the premier live acts in music. They’ve released twenty-three albums and charted more than 50 singles – including the number one hits “Step That Step”, “Some Girls Do” and “Thank God for You” – leading to several CMA, ACM, and CMT Awards, and their story is still being written. The hits have just kept coming – “Used to Blue”, “The Race is On”, “This Time”, “Treat Her Right”, “I Don’t Believe in Goodbye”, “Hard to Say”, and “Drive Me Wild.”
About Leah Marlene: Leah Marlene is a songwriter, artist, and producer with a deeply rooted desire to
create art unlike anything you have heard before. With a unique, engaging voice and a songwriting style that combines elements of folk, rock, pop, soul, funk, jazz and more, she cannot be put into a box.
Leah grew up in a house full of music and guitars as her father, Derry Grehan, is a songwriter and lead guitarist with the Canadian band, Honeymoon Suite. He passed along his knowledge and passion for writing and performing. Leah began singing and writing her own songs at a very young age and never looked back! She has been performing professionally since the age of ten and releasing music since she was thirteen.
After graduating high school, Leah spent two years studying songwriting at Belmont University in Nashville. She then returned back to the midwest to produce her latest album, “Many Colors.”
Now twenty-one years old, Leah most recently came off an incredible run on season 20 of American Idol, where she released her latest original single, "Flowers" and placed second runner up of the season!
Leah is a lover of people and her greatest hope is that her music may meet you exactly where you are at and help you feel whatever it is you need to feel in a given moment.
