Stephy Leigh Bio

When a jazz and classically-trained trumpet player from small-town Ohio becomes a singer-songwriter/guitarist/music teacher, you get the music of Stephy Leigh Griffin. Her unique voice has been compared to the likes of Loretta Lynn, Patty Griffin and Emmylou Harris. She plays solo as a duo, trio or with her full band, Stephy Leigh & the Lullaby League. Her band recently shared a bill with Niki Lane, Katie Pruitt, and Rising Appalachia at Prescott’s first Pure Imagination Festival. She is a sponsored songwriter with the Fall 2022 Northern California Howling Coyote Tour, a showcase featuring some of Arizona’s finest songwriters. She is proud to represent Prescott, Arizona’s ever-growing Americana music scene.

You can also hear her play trumpet in one of Arizona’s only 1920s Hot Jazz bands, King Copper. Stephy brings a raw edge and a moody charm to every performance as she tells her story through songs, usually with her dog Dottie in her guitar case or clipped to her overalls. “I don’t journal or keep a diary. I work through my sh*t by figuring out how to summarize it in one line. And sometimes that takes years.” Her new record comes out before the year’s end.
