One of the rising stars of the Santa Fe scene, Anthony Leon’s aggressive Americana finds its roots in the mountains of Virginia, where he grew up singing, playing guitar, and composing. At 13, he made the trip to Sun Studios in Memphis, where he recorded his first original piece, “Granddaddy’s Guitar,” which he still plays today. He’s been performing live since age 15, moving audiences with his lyrical imagery, powerful acoustic guitar work, gutsy vocals, and heartfelt delivery on songs about sin and redemption, love lost and found, life's rewards and regrets, and the search for truth, purpose, and meaning in what may sometimes appear to be a meaningless world. The band’s killer debut disc, which has just been released, will be available at the show.
