New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Country music's biggest names are falling in love with Sonia Leigh - in addition to continued appearances with
Zac Brown Band this coming year, the soulful southern rocker with "the poise of a seasoned troubadour" (Wood & Steel) will hit the road with
Eric Church for his Blood, Sweat, and Beers Tour and with
Uncle Kracker for his Hometown Tour.
2011 was a banner year for Leigh, with her full-length debut '1978 December,' produced by Zac Brown and released on his label Southern Ground Artists. Named CMT's Artist of the Month for October, Leigh garnered critical acclaim from coast to coast:
- Nashville Scene: "Leigh's voice is definitely something different for country; she has a lot more bite to her sandy, alto drawl than even the CMA Female Vocalist of the Year."
- Creative Loafing Atlanta: "Occupies a unique stylistic space at the crossroads of archetypal hard-knock country."
- Google Magnifier: "Tart and tough...with rare grace."
- Oregonian: "A powerhouse...hopefully she'll be making records for a long time."
