"Greyhound Hotel 13 Dec. 2006"

"Leighanne was a solo artist, playing piano. She has a wonderful, clear as a bell-like voice. Kate Bush comes to mind. Her songs tend to be filled with words and so at times you wanted to take in more of the lyrics.
It can be hard with the spotlight on you as a solo performer, but Leighanne handled it beautifully. Plenty of poise." - Indie Initiative/ Inpress magazine (www.indieinitiative.com)
