Why is Leigh not playing packed out arenas? <br \/><br \/>This dude has just released a single that packs a solid punch, it comes with an intro that hits the ground running. And it sounds like he\u2019s got a full band in the studio and they\u2019re having a ball; this is a bluesy number with a growl of a Hammond organ in there. I\u2019d have given the keyboard player some just for that alone! <br \/><br \/>Lyrically this song talks about life before you find \u201cthe one\u201d, how things weren\u2019t quite right but the one changes everything for you, always there even when you have your little quirks. <\/p>\n<p>Musically this is a blues rock song that if not played live would be a gross injustice. <br \/><br \/>Is that a horn section? <br \/><br \/>Maybe. <br \/><br \/>Love the guitar solo at 2:38.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Text__TextElement-sc-if376j-0 gYdBJW encore-text-body-medium CjnwbSTpODW56Gerg7X6\" dir=\"auto\" data-encore-id=\"text\">\n<p class=\"Type__TypeElement-sc-goli3j-0 bGcjcI\" data-encore-id=\"type\">Leigh is a Gippsland\/Melbourne based singer, songwriter, guitarist, creating soulful, melodic, indie pop\/rock. A wide range of influences and experiences from Brit Pop, Heavy Rock and Blues to Alternative Rock and Classical, are forged into Leigh&#8217;s own personal and unique style. Word imagery, poetry, social commentary, are important factors lyrically in Leigh&#8217;s music. A lifelong professional singer and guitarist, Leigh first made inroads into the music scene as lead guitarist for Melbourne guitar pop band Jericho, who released several EPs, toured Australia, and performed a &#8220;Live at the Wireless&#8221; session aired by JJJ radio. Leigh has since been continually performing live, but only recently has decided to hit the indie scene again with several releases. He is now working on writing, recording and releasing more new material, and performing around Melbourne as a solo act, whilst putting a band together to give his music the full impact it deserves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hdS8jsvbJhsJXHAZlWwz\">\n<figure class=\"tp8rO9vtqBGPLOhwcdYv mM_me6VjRfHLPkqAMqEI\" title=\"Leigh Thomas\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"KdxlBanhDJjzmHfqhP0X Q4hOdDPRDHPhfou2xbDg\" data-testid=\"placeholder-wrapper\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>have one question to ask.
