Summary: <p>You’re listening to Ithaca Is Music, the stories behind the songs. We’re exploring the local music scene here in Ithaca, New York. Located in the Finger Lakes and home to Cornell University, this small town is full of talented musicians. We intend to ask them questions about their craft and have them perform in front of our live audience.</p> <p>This week we bring you singer songwriter LEO. With her soothing style, LEO seeks to weave tales of life, loss and love through the music she creates. LEO and Vee really hit it off and have a great interview so stay tuned for a great show. [The audio file for this episode was replaced on 1 November 2018.]</p> <p>A quick note on our format:</p> <p>• The first song they wrote or performed with their current band. <br> • The song they identify as their greatest achievement or most inspirational moment as an artist <br> • The song their fans identify them with them or their most popular song <br> • And finally a new song or a song they would like to debut on our show.</p> <p>Then the artists will take over the stage and perform the rest of their set.</p> <p>Support for Ithaca is Music comes from Ithaca Bakery.
