Leigh in Tophat

She is a poet who is also a songwriter; a songwriter who plays guitar; a guitarist who plays flute; a flute player who sings; a singer who leads a band; and a bandleader who writes poetry.


This multiplicity of interests might be exhausting for many; for Ms. Harrison such diverse activity stems from the belief that we must unleash all of our personae, and it comes to fruition in the concept that one should explore all of one's talents in the service of some higher good.

 
Ms. Harrison has worn many other hats; she is a painter (her watercolor fantasias are surreal and pointillistic), a photographer whose work documents such diverse subjects as murals, stained  glass, license plates, neon signs, and the blues scene in New York City, and she builds tiny dollhouse rooms to perfect 1:12 scale.

 

Leigh is a co-founder of SongCrew Records. She is a native New Yorker who has composed music since the age of five.  Her first CD, Eclectic Chanteuse, has been very favorably reviewed, and her second CD, Oh, Wow, was released in April of 2010.  Visit Leigh’s website (link below) to read about her artwork, her photography, her poetry books, and a more complete bio, as well as to see some wonderful photos of her, her paintings, and her documentary photography.
