Leigh Ann Yost

Her songs can't escape her existence: loves gained, lost, lives lived and roads crossed. Her less-is-more approach to songwriting results in a perfect marriage between melodies, catchy hooks and memorable lyrics.

Tired of just singing, Leigh Ann picked up a guitar at the ripe age of 30 and began writing. After a stellar first performance at the Kentucky Theater in March 2006, she exploded into the local music scene, and in just over one year she has made quite an impact, often participating in the planning and organization of concert benefits for charities. Musicians seek performances with Leigh Ann in order to draw a larger audience. She is well received in a multitude of settings, from the Speed Art Museum to the historic Kentucky Theater to coffee shops and bars. Leigh Ann is a music staple on Louisville's Public Radio, 91.9 WFPK radio Louisville.
