Louis Leeman, an active member of the New England music scene for three decades, is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter who resides in Swansea, MA. During this time, Louis has had the opportunity to play with many talented musicians in a variety of musical settings and styles. As an opening act for Tom Rush, Leon Russell, Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett of Little Feat, Savoy Brown, Darrel Scott, Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriquez, Louis has had the opportunity to play to audiences expecting the best. With roots in rock, folk, blues and country, Louis has been influenced by all types of music. As Louis says, "I listen to all kinds of music and it filters through my personality and slightly warped perspective. I play my own songs and songs by artists whose work I admire. I try to sound like me."
Seamus & Ellie (Seamus Galligan and Ellie Cowen) are an acoustic folk duo with roots in New Bedford and Cambridge, MA. After meeting on craigslist in 2010, they started playing covers and original songs in and around Boston, New Bedford, and Providence. Their music pays quiet tribute to the tradition of several generations of skillful American melodists, with strong melody and subtle lyrics, intimate vocal harmonies, and supportive fingerpicking on guitar.
