Leah Senior & Johanna Samuels with Saint Simon's Sanctuary & Limbers

Australian folk diviner Leah Senior silences audiences with vivid lyricism and a voice that soars with a disarmingly honest Sandy Denny-like clarity. Leah effortlessly weaves together spring-time baroque pop playfulness with a fragile blend of bedroom folk. Her fourth album The Music That I Make (2023, Poison City Records) reveals Leah at her most intimate, her songs a cycle of vulnerable meditations on what it means to create. The Music That I Make transports the listener to her sandstone shack in Anglesea, where autumnal British folk meets rain streaked AM radio.

Leah’s previous three albums The Passing Scene, Pretty Faces and Summer’s On The Ground were released through Flightless Records. A chance late night encounter with King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard saw Leah Senior joining their independent label Flightless. In 2022 Leah and her band joined King Gizzard on a national tour of USA/Canada, performing at iconic venues including Red Rocks and Berkeley Theatre.

Leah Senior’s captivating live performances have seen her supporting artists including Jessica Pratt, Jeff Tweedy and Bedouine and performing at festivals such as Levitation, Desert Daze, Port Fairy Folk Festival and Golden Plains.

"Leah Senior is an amazing folk singer, very, very talented, and nothing like King Gizz's music at all. Her songs are equally terrifying, joyous, sad and exciting. We get chills watching her perform."

– King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard

"Enchanting..Recalling Joni Mitchell playfulness through cosy folk, minimalism"
