Raised on the central coast of California and currently living in Lafayette, LA, Elise Leavy has a distinctly unique voice as a singer and songwriter. Often likened to Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill, Elise says it must be the California seawater getting inside her head and heart from an early age. She has been writing songs since she was 8 years old, and has studied the art of singing and harmony for the better part of her 25 years. After graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music and living in New York City, and then Nashville, TN, she has landed in Louisiana and is thrilled to be releasing and touring her first studio record, titled “A Little Longer”: a group of songs written and recorded in Brooklyn, NY with producer and engineer Robin MacMillan, and a full band of local musicians.
