Leigh draws on the haunting melodies of the desert, with a voice and pen often compared to the great Stevie Nicks, that draws you into the story unfolding in your mind. Her musical style is a strong folk rock sound reminiscent of legends like Jewel with that classic sound of Arizona rock brought about by talented bands like Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, blending into a sound that appeals to a wide range of fans of rock, americana, country, folk, pop, and western music.

Leigh’s first album, 444, stands as a testament to the ever evolving sounds of Arizona music, and became an instant classic the moment of its release. From the powerful and pop driven "Shadowside to the inspiring I Am, this album fires on all cylinders as a musical masterpiece. The relaxing and powerful track It Could Be Easy showcases the band’s range and talent, while showing off a voice that isn’t afraid to be used, and demands to be paid attention to.

Akasha is the title of Leigh Lesho’s sophomore album released 10/10/18. She is the writer and producer of the project with support from many stellar Tucson artists, including Oscar Fuentes, Thoger Lund (Giant Sand), Lauren Wilson, Heather Hardy, Joe Novelli, Gabriel Sullivan (XIXA), Brian Lopez (XIXA), and others.
Akasha is a concept album and is the Sanskrit word for the element of space/ether. A concept album is like a storybook, with each song being like a chapter of the story. Each of the songs that make up the album hold a larger purpose or meaning collectively than they do individually. The concept is large and involved but the words, the feel, the sound, and all the pieces of this project achieve a sense of divine simplicity, that feels destined to find its home in the Americana community.
The overall message in the story of Akasha is one that hopes to inspire consideration and regard for the voice and the ability to verbally communicate as a sacred gift. Most people are granted the ability to speak, so it’s usually taken for granted. Speech is a powerful form of energy and both are very important topics for Leigh because she has been a devoted yoga student and teacher for most of her life, and her nine-year-old son Rylan has autism with his biggest challenge being speech. The process of recording and performing music serves as an outlet for Leigh and her life’s work while simultaneously serving as an example and mode of therapy for Rylan as he continues to find his voice in this “crazy, corrupt kingdom” we call Earth.
