Born in the Midwest and raised by a family of artists and musicians, Lea picked up a keyboard when she was four--a dusty Casio no longer than her arm--and locked herself in her bedroom. Twenty years later, she emerged with a passionate, powerfully-moving repertoire and a voice that has been described eclectically as both the knife that melts butter, and the umbilical chord between the listener’s ear and heart.
Intrigued by the natural polarities present in everyday life and fascinated by the human animal, ...Lea Holz writes with a natural empathy, producing songs that range from rich melancholy and lush sensuality to raw, blunt, unapologetic quirkiness. With this unique and soulful dichotomy, Lea strives to create a connective tissue that bridges the gap between the inner and outer worlds of her audience.
Self-taught, self-motivated, self-actualized, and fast-becoming one of Colorado’s most captivating and promising new talents, Lea Holz has opened for and performed with such esteemed acts as Pezzettino, Vanessa Peters, Gregory Douglass, Steven and the Ghost, and Lillie Lemon.
