“When it comes to barn-burning vocalists from Austin, Texas, they don’t come any hotter than Leeann Atherton.” Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle Leeann Atherton is a country, gospel, and blues singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas. She cut her teeth in Charleston dance bands, paid for college with her voice, and ran through Nashville honky-tonks before Austin pulled her in for good. At Antone’s Blues Club she found her sound. Raw. Honest. Southern to the bone. Eleven albums deep — including sessions at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio with producer Rich Brotherton. Lady Liberty topped indie Americana charts. Fallen Angel swings from the joyful “Smack Dab in a Miracle” to the defiant “Cleaning House.” She performs live country and gospel shows regularly in Austin TX, San Diego and Encinitas CA, and internationally in Spain.
