  • Bio

    Praise for Alva Leigh: "With her piano-driven songs, 22-year-old Alva Leigh gives us an intimate peek into her life as she grapples with love, leavin', memories and her southern roots. Southern imagery permeates many of the album's 10 tracks—she sings about swamplands and Kudzu ("Fire in Your Belly,") and heaven and the devil ("Scoundrel"). "Hurricane" is a boozy, trombone-laced romp through her bayou hometown after the storm. Leigh's straightforward songwriting style and lingering vocals lend a world-weary sound to tracks like album closer "Quick Bright Things." — Paste Magazine "In a city where piano-pounders and crooners are a dime a diva, what separates Leigh from the bunch is a knack for subtlety as well as a penchant to leave her listeners wanting more." - Nashville Scene
