Hey what's up! I'm Leia, a singer/songwriter specializing in original acoustic pop songs. I play both guitar and ukulele, and also have a variety of cover songs in the pop and alternative genres. My style is best suited for a coffee shop or farmer's market type of venue, however I also have experience playing at bars and pubs. The hourly rate does not include a PA as I do not have access to one at this time, so one will need to be provided unless you're looking for an un-plugged experience.

I'm a predominately solo singer songwriter style of artist but also can add members to accommodate the venue and situation. I'm a published songwriter and have many songs I've written. I also perform cover songs for venues that insist on them. I'm professional and timely and diligent in making the venue and patrons happy and entertained. I'm adaptable to the venue and event for sound, style, requirements of the show

Jefferson Jay and the Jefferson Jay Band merge 1960's ideals with an exciting 21st century sound. With top-quality musicianship, this Ocean Beach-based 5-piece band, brings provocative fun every time. The JJB blends several styles to forge their own inspiring sound. They are currently recording their 7th CD on Sweet Information Records. Spreading love and the good vibe, you can only go right with Jefferson Jay. Jefferson has made a name for himself in San Diego, as a community organizer, working with special needs adults, and producing events that redefine the word "event," such as "Jefferson Jay's 24 Hours of Free Music" and his "Operation 365" project, which stands as the most ambitious and extensive, fully executed 365 project (3 videos and blog daily) in the history of the Internet. Jay is also a recurring guest on The Scott and BR Radio show on The Mighty 1090AM, where he sings original humorous songs about local pro sports teams and flexes his large comedic muscles.

Elektric Voodoo is a "World Beat Rock & Roll" band from San Diego, CA that blends classic afrobeat, latin, rock & roll, psych, jazz, blues and many other influences into it's own unique genre that tastefully straddles the line between modern and vintage. The band started when Scott Tournet (founding member of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals) started writing new material after leaving the Nocturnals. "Musically I wanted to try something a little different than what I'd done before. I wanted to make music with an undeniable rhythmic pulse but I really didn't want to make computer driven dance music as these past few years that seems to be much of what I hear." To accomplish that, Tournet tapped into the rhythms of west Africa, Latin, and World music for inspiration. What came out the other side though was not just a world music project. Tournet's old band, The Nocturnals, had a quite a successful career which saw them write, record, and perform with The Allman Brothers, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Taj Mahal, Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), Robert Plant, Mavis Staples, Bob Weir, and many more. Through these experiences Tournet became schooled in song craft, soul, pop, blues, and classic rock & roll. So when he began writing songs to go on top of these powerful world rhythms the influences from his past shone through. What the listener is left with is a very unique sound that while immediately is very danceable, also offers innovation, song craft, and melody. Elektric Voodoo is a band that can excite and exhaust a Saturday night audience while also engaging and challenging more focused listeners. Rounding out this powerful 7 piece ensemble with Tournet (vocals, guitar, harmonica) is Matt Bozzone (drums/percussion), Ty Kiernan (congas, timbales, percussion), Travis Klien (tenor sax, keyboards, percussion), Brad Nash (baritone sax, percussion) Willie Fleming (trombone, vocals, percussion), and Luke Henning (bass). Elektric Voodoo's first self- titled came out in late fall of 2016 and has received incredibly positive critical reactions- Glide Magazine "tastes of The Flaming Lips, Santana, Fela Kuti, Tame Impala and The Arcade Fire break through atop this soulful collection of songs that are birthed with unlimited potential." Grateful Web- "They have, crafted a cohesive album that blurs the lines between genres and eludes classification, resulting in a sound and experience that appeals to a wide variety of audiences." Blurt Magazine- A perfect 5 stars!!!
