Once described as reminiscent of an obscure English folk rock movement in the early 1970’s, and once compared to the sounds of an Eastern Canadian music scene, Leatherwood, in reality, has drawn its inspiration form a broad range of artists, new and old. With a commitment to the songwriting craft, a passion for a good melody and a strong harmony, and an appreciation for an eclectic instrumental blend, Leatherwood’s music has been influenced by a diverse group of artists, including The Beatles, Iron and Wine, The Swell Season, Bob Dylan, The Jayhawks, Phish, Patty Griffin, and Eric Clapton. Formed in Denton, Texas, in the summer of 2007, Leatherwood’s members include Joel Larner on vocals and keys, Petra Kelly on vocals and violin, James Canavan on acoustic guitar, Pablo Burrull on bass, and Skwigls on percussion.
As self described, they are acoustic folk funk.
The members of Leatherwood all come from a unique background of training and style, which combined, creates an accessible sound with wide appeal. Their songs are all original, produced and presented with genuine feeling, and a strong conviction that music is one of the most effective and beautiful ways of channeling emotion. Rich with harmony vocals, Leatherwood’s songs fuse the elegance of violin with the playful funk of bass, and are deeply rooted in the earthy rhythms of guitar, keys, and hand drums.
With upcoming shows in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Denton, Leatherwood’s immediate plans also include recording an EP. As always, the band will continue to seek out new avenues in which to share their music. Feel free to contact Leatherwood via myspace for booking inquiries.
No problem! We're an acoustic duo that are trying to get booked around the Denton area, but we don't know where we can play. We have a found a few places (The Hydrant, Banter, etc.). Are there any other places you would suggest calling?
Hi! :) Like Norah Jones crossed w/Regina Spektor? I play Banter tomorrow (Sat, Aug1st@6:30pm) w/Aly Tadros (Fiona Apple/Ani Difranco)! Wanna come?! ox
We're on a three month tour of the country, playing tunes from our records that are about to come out! Both records are getting lots of attention, and we'd love to share them with you!
One more question for ya. By any chance would you be interested in hosting an Indie on the Move banner on your myspace page or website to help us promote?
Hi LeatherWood!
Just wanted to let you know that we are playing in DENTON the 17th of March at Hailey's.
We also play at SXSW, so if you're around, make sure to be around :)
Visit our website for all tourdates.
