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.
 

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, collaborates with producer Lee Turner (Keyboardist for Darius Rucker) on a horn-driven album, blending country, gritty blues, and rock and roll. Leanne's exceptional vocals shine through, leaving audiences laughing, crying, and eagerly anticipating her next performance.
