ABOUT
There must be something in the air, the water, and the bars of Youngstown, Ohio that creates great musicians. Maybe it’s the long grey winters or that rust belt small-town feel, but, whatever it is, there’s no doubt Leanne Binder inherited it. A singer, a songwriter, and, at her deepest core, an entertainer, Leanne transforms rock and blues influences into hook-driven, hit-you-in-the-heart songs with melodies that are part heavenly, part heart-broken, and all soul. And her voice? Her voice is everything.
A LITTLE BITTA WHISKEY & A WHOLE LOT OF SOUL
Meet Leanne
Leanne has always been destined for the stage. At age 12, she was accepted to Youngstown State University’s Dana School of Music. That led her to the music program at Ohio State University before tragedy struck. By age 18, through wear and tear and stress, she was losing that extraordinary voice. The rocky road back to her vocal power led her into rock and roll and songwriting. Soon, she was writing her own songs, releasing music on her own label – and the fire was burning.
Her first two albums – 2 Drinks Til Midnite and Done Lookin' Back – charted on college radio and attracted international promoters. Soon she was touring the United Kingdom, including a closing set at the Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival. The music led her home to Cleveland, and then to Nashville, where she recorded her critically acclaimed On the Inside album. That record landed her an invite to both the gospel and blues stages at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
Her latest release, due out in 2024, comes as a collaboration with longtime friend and producer Lee Turner (Keyboardist with Darius Rucker). The album is a blast of horn-driven groove and passion, backed by some of the best players in Music City. Each song pays homage to Leanne’s extraordinary vocal ability, bringing hints of country, gritty blues, and hard-hitting rock and roll. Leanne has always had the goods, leaving audiences laughing, crying, and ready to catch another show.
"It's just Rock n' Roll, but I love it."
