/ LEIGH MARKS /
Leigh Marks is an Australian solo composer and musician, forging a contemporary sound that is firmly based in blues and roots, described by international audiences as ‘emotion-charged’ and ‘riveting’. Emerging from rock origins, Leigh’s fresh, relatable sound is powerfully tied to the place he is based, in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney: rugged, grounded, and ethereal. Leigh’s lyrics delve into familiar themes of journeying, with raw honesty. His takes on love, disconnection, questioning and uncertainty unravel with an authenticity that strikes an instant chord. Chilled grooves and strong melodies make for songs of persuasive power and unapologetic vulnerability. Leigh’s arresting vocals evoke the greats of his genre, with immediacy and warmth that is his own. Lyrical sex appeal pairs with intuitive instrumentation that kicks his songs up a gear. Musicians love him for his deft craftsmanship; audiences love his heartfelt tales and cracking crescendos. Leigh’s is a truth that doesn’t hold back. His story is the artist’s journey in the real world, wrestling with the divine in the every day – which is the story of us all. His message is that music is freedom: from self, from time, from ties that bind, and that the journey is everything.

“Amazing singer, amazing musician, a very touching concert. The audience felt moments of goosebumps in 2018. Musicians in the audience told me after the show: Leigh Marks was the highlight.”
Julia Franz, Culture-Manage
