About Leah

Leah Sawyer was singing before she could talk and playing the fiddle before she could tell you what a fiddle was. Her soulful singing has always brought a richness older than her age and her true love has always been Traditional Music. Leah’s songwriting is a place where excellent music, deep messages, and the sounds of 40’s Swing and 60’s Country intersect. Her passion is bringing music of the past to modern audiences and bringing a message in her songs that goes as deep as the music.

 

Leah holds State, National, and World fiddling championship titles. She is an International Western Music Association Crescendo Award Winner and is the youngest person to have written a song to top the charts in the International Western Music Association. Leah has performed with the likes of Red Steagall, Jake Hooker, and Michael Martin Murphey to name a few. Working as a band player and session musician has taken her all over the country playing everything from Bluegrass, to Jazz, to accompanying Singer/Songwriters. Her versatility as a fiddler combined with a deep knowledge of Texas Fiddling and Western Swing make her sound like a musician who’s been playing as long as someone twice her age.

 

Singing songs that resonate and bring people joy is what keeps Leah coming back to Western Swing and Country Music. She loves the way rhythm can help people forget their problems and the way a crying Country song can make someone feel seen. Leah performs music and writes songs because she loves people, and she strives to glorify Jesus with every note she plays.
