Brennen Leigh is a songwriter, multi instrumentalist
and singer whose to the point storytelling style has elevated her to newfound
cult status around the world and most notably in her native Austin, Texas. Only
slightly less famous for her musicianship, it's easy to see why she's caught the
ear of greats like Guy Clark who has said of Leigh; "She plays guitar like
a motherf---er". All musical and performing prowess aside, the thing
Brennen has become most famous for is her whip smart songwriting, with her
songs recorded by the likes of Lee Ann Womack, Sunny Sweeney and the
Carper Family. She has co-written with the likes of Jim Lauderdale, Shawn
Camp, John Scott Sherrill, David Olney and Carl Jackson.
Noel McKay is a Texan songwriter whose songs have
taken him across the States and all over the world and in 1993 he was
discovered by songwriting legend Guy Clark. Clark's mentorship has been a
key component to Noel's success as a songwriter. In the 2000's he had several
regional hits across the state of Texas with his brother Hollin McKay in
the band McKay Brothers. These days Noel can be found playing his songs to
packed houses of astute listeners both stateside and in Europe.
