Frankie Leonie

The Texas singer-songwriter proudly carries the label of country artist … yet she’s inspired by and often mixing in folk, blues and any number of influences. She’s at times reminiscent of Loretta Lynn … but also, First Aid Kit. She reveres country acts from decades gone by and masterfully paints pictures of heartbreak and hardscrabble lives … yet she’s still a teenager. And when you put it all together it works beautifully, bound together tightly by Frankie’s distinctive voice. Simultaneously silky and strong, her voice carries you along through each song, shifting seamlessly from quietly soothing to powerfully booming.
