From Fort Worth, Texas, with 8 years of NYC beach under her belt, Lorena Leigh is the feminine fusion of homegrown story-telling, dance-able rhythms and summertime obsession.
After two EPs and numerous singles, Lorena's sound has been described by fans as "cowgirl-mermaid" music. Leigh released her debut LP in the fall of 2019. Entitled 'Water Theory', the 11-song adventure was produced by Ernesto Valenzuela (Tommy Genesis, Espé, B-52s) and features an all-star cast including drummer Sterling Campbell (David Bowie, B-52s and Duran Duran). Laced with hints of Ellie Goulding, Nelly Furtado, Kacey Musgraves, and Cyndi Lauper, Water Theory is a complete galaxy with engaging sentiments, vibrant characters, and cinematic soundscapes.
Lorena spent October to Dec of 2019 on the road full time playing over 45 shows across the US in support of the album's release. It is her determination, soulful nature & out of the box stage presence that has garnered Lorena a grassroots following of fans that welcome the underwater rodeo of a universe. Lorena's childhood love of country music, years of professional dance performance & enthrallment with the NYC surf-scene during her early twenties, directly contribute to the catchy hooks, lyrical stories and electrified, pedal-popped ukulele melodies that drive her music and leave audiences buzzing with positivity.
“Texas-bred, quirky, theatrical (but deeply heartfelt) cowgirl/gravity-defying musical mermaid”
