Banshee Tree (w/ The Laura Leigh Band)

Banshee Tree w/ special guests The Laura Leigh Band.

Banshee Tree is a high energy quartet that blends modern indie, trance and psychedelic rock with old school Django inspired jazz. Using traditional instruments through a range of pedals, they tie the styles and sounds of modern music to the earthy roots of acoustic music in a whole new way. Their live show is a wild dance party with a great deal of improvisation that remains grounded in indie style songwriting. There is nothing quite like it on the scene.

Hailing from the rolling hills of Washington County in Upstate NY, Laura Leigh gained her following by singing folks to tears around every late night campfire in the capital region. Quickly becoming what Greg Bell claimed “The new darling of the Albany music scene”, LL is known for her driving rock/Americana songwriting, raw and emotional Appalachian vocals, witty stage presence, and her evocative stories that may or may not be true. Laura released her first solo album with producer Jonathan Stewart, “Livin’ In Cambridge” in 2021. This album paints pictures of the small town she grew up in with both light and dark tones, and explores the feelings of reinventing yourself in the place of your roots.
