Lesley Young

Canadian singer-songwriter Lesley Young serves up a rich brew of contemporary folky-pop with a jazz twist. She melds eclectic sounds and rhythms into a vision of passion and loveliness. The title track of her second disc, Inside, was finalist in both folk and pop categories in three international song competitions and 2nd place winner in a songwriting competition in France. Her song Jezebel, was also chosen a finalist, in the folk category for The Great American Song Contest. " ....irresistible old school tunes that boast sturdy hooks, sparse but tasteful accompaniment and a cool, clear voice that cuts through the typical tortured, “chip on my shoulder” singer-songwriter syndrome as a buoyant, uplifting alternative. The star of the show is Young’s crystalline vocal tone and soft, breathy asides..." Eric Thom, Exclaim Magazine, Canada. WEBSITE: www.lesleyyoung.com
