LESLIE STEVENS

‘There’s bad in the best of us, there’s good in the rest of us’-  Leslie Stevens’ moving, sonorous songcraft will leave a bookmark in the most golden part of your soul.  

Leslie has earned accolades from the cognoscenti for her recordings and live shows as a luminary in the Los Angeles music scene. The masterful collection of songs on her self-titled third release, finds the artist venturing beyond her beloved American Folk into mysterious, new terrain. She explores the grit and the riches of it all, accompanied by renowned musicians from the bands of Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Dylan and members of Incubus and My Morning Jacket. While Stevens has flexed her vocal and compositional skills on Hollywood scores and TV shows, the video for the album's "Blue Roses" sees the favor returned as she's joined on camera by accomplished actor Jon Hamm, who plays her faithless, microphone-hijacking suitor. - Michael Snyder

Co-produced by Stevens and Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket, Ray LaMontagne, Andrew Bird).
